In addition to studying for my English M.A. at Georgetown, I'm working as a graduate associate at their Center for New Designs in Learning and Scholarship (CNDLS), where I've lately had the chance to offer informal support and creative guidance to Georgetown faculty interested in finding compelling ways to use blogs and wikis in the classroom. I'll be working both on the EDSITEment initiative and preservation/access projects this summer at NEH, as well as continuing my involvement at CNDLS.

As an English scholar in this age of cultural studies, I love transgressing disciplinary boundaries and maintain a variety of research interests, including domestic spaces in literature, photography/narrative hybrids, genealogy (everything from 19th century British primogeniture to the Foucauldian trope!)-- and I still love the tactile thrill of hefting a Hardy novel dressed in bookbinder red, so I'll add book history to the list. I'm enthusiastic about the promise of digitization/new media for translating these interests into accessible/interactive forms that enrich their analog counterparts and encourage creative, divergent thinking by bringing wonder and a sense of immanent possibility to the fore.
