Tobah is an art historian specializing in twentieth-century Britain with a PhD from the Graduate Center of the City University of New York.

Tobah's research addresses the intersection of art, industry, and environment, and includes inquiries into the visual history of extraction, the industrial provenance of artistic materials, images of pollution, and the resonance between artistic and industrial labor. Her forthcoming book, Abstract Ground: Fossil Industry and Modern British Art, examines mid-twentieth century artworks related to mines, oil refineries, and industrial waste to demonstrate that Britain's extractive landscapes were crucial sites of modern artistic experimentation.
