Welcome to Following Studies
Here is the corner of the internet where we explore subcultures, obsessions, the things we follow, and the things that follow us.
Make sure you subscribe to get full access to the newsletter and website. I’ll show up in your inbox at least once a week with explorations, essays, and interviews about these pockets of the world that have captured someone’s curiosity and attention. Maybe it will capture yours, too.

About Laura
I’m a writer exploring how our obsessions explain the human condition. I traveled the US in a self-renovated 1973 Airstream and am now based in Southern California.
I’ve written about how Supported Decision-Making can change the reality for so many living under guardianship/conservatorships, how we all are going to die and the people who go to death cafes to talk about it and what it does to your finances when you get bit by a snake. I’ve shared about the design of my Airstream and what it’s really like to renovate a 1970’s travel trailer. You can read about what it’s like to live on the road during a pandemic here.
