I’m currently Assistant Professor of English and the Director of Writing-Across-the-Curriculum at St. Norbert College in De Pere, Wisconsin. My scholarship focuses on the intersections between literary and religious culture in antebellum America. If you’re interested in specifics about my work, see my CV.
I’m working on a number of projects at the moment. I’m building a digital edition of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s short story “The Celestial Railroad” that will allow scholars, teachers, and students to follow the rich publication history of “The Celestial Railroad” in American periodicals during the 1840s and 50s. I serve on NITLE’s Digital Humanities Council and I am secretary/treasurer of the Digital Americanists scholarly society.
I’m also on the board of the DHCommons project. DHCommons aims to combat isolation in the digital humanities by connecting people with expertise with digital projects that need that expertise. DHCommons will launch with a pre-convention workshop at the Modern Language Association Convention in Seattle this January.
I write about technology in higher education for the group blog ProfHacker at the Chronicle of Higher Education.
I regularly post my thoughts on digital humanities (and higher education more generally) in my Twitter stream, which you can also view in the sidebar here.
