Laura Aasland

Meet Laura Aasland! With a BA in anthropology from Biola University, Laura is in the midst of extending her expertise with a MA in Museum Studies from San Francisco State University. Laura enjoys exploring the cultural effects and implications within the media we consume every day, whether that be the “highbrow art” houses in museums and galleries or the everyday stories we consume in movies, graphic novels, toys and pop culture.

The cover pf Why We Stay Home depicts two young girls in pajamas in front of a bed. The older sister smiles down at her little sister as a cartoon germ drifts by in the background.
