Levine discusses the research and writing of her 2020 book, Her Stories: Daytime Soap Opera and US Television History, considering whether the long duration of the project qualifies it as “slow scholarship.” Within this context, she examines the slow scholarship movement and the ways that slowness may function as an interventionist practice. As well, she considers the ways that cultural studies benefits from an embrace of slowness, in particular in terms of the move toward radical contextualization inherent in cultural studies models of inquiry.
