Name
Dydia DeLyser
Title
Dr. Dydia DeLyser is a feminist cultural-historical geographer and associate professor in the Department of Geography & the Environment at California State University, Fullerton
Bio
Dydia's research focuses on issues of landscape, memory, and preservation in 19th-21st century California. Her book, Ramona Memories: Tourism and the Shaping of Southern California won the 2005 Globe Book Award and she has published some fifty scholarly articles and book chapters. Her research is often auto-ethnographic and participatory – drawing herself and her community together in her research – as in her most recent book, Neon: A Light History, co-authored with her husband Paul Greenstein (who makes and restores neon signs), for which a portion of profits benefit the Museum of Neon Art on whose Board DeLyser serves. She is a native Angeleno, and lives in Victorian house in Lincoln Heights together with Paul and their fox terrier Archie Leach.
