Digital & Public Humanities

I am a co-creator of CARE SYLLABUS – a public humanities & arts project featuring original text, visual and audio media, and live events by activists, artists, and academics. Developed in collaboration with Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art, CARE SYLLABUS harnesses the imaginative potential of the humanities to center care in the arts for museum-going publics. CARE SYLLABUS has been supported by a number of grants and awards, including an NEA-funded Artist Impact Coalition grant, a Massachusetts Cultural Council grant, and an ACLS Leading Edge Fellowship.

As a graduate student at Northeastern University, I took part in several digital humanities initiatives. A leading institution in the field of Digital Humanities, Northeastern University is home to the NULab and such projects as the Early Caribbean Digital Archive (ECDA), the Women Writer's Project, and Our Marathon: The Boston Bombing Digital Archive.

Examples of past DH work:

• Member of the Digital Feminisms working group at Northeastern University

• Instructor of Record for a special service-learning course taught in partnership with Our Marathon in which my students designed digital exhibitions built with Omeka for the archive. A description of this course can be found here. 

• Editorial Assistant for DHCommons, an online, peer-reviewed journal, which features mid-stage DH projects from all over the world.

• Participant in the Drupal seminar at the Digital Humanities Summer Institute at University of Victoria (2015)
