Bio

My research projects cluster around community knowledge and public humanities, digital representation, humanities data, scholarly communication & open access, and critical university studies, with attention to gender, race, and ethnicity. I have a longstanding interest in preservation, as it is theorized, practiced, and resourced, and in material culture. I am exploring new work related to book history and environmental humanities, and feminism and automation.

My research builds on a decade of hands-on experience in cultural heritage and with scholarly collections, focused on data curation, computational methods, digital humanities / digital scholarship / digital stewardship, and research impact. Much of this work revolves around the formation of communities of practice (such as open source software communities) with shared values, standards, protocols, and tools.
