About
I am currently a Mitacs Postdoctoral Researcher with the Electronic Textual Cultures Lab at UVic, and Iter Canada, which facilitates research and teaching in support of Medieval, Renaissance, and Early Modern Studies.
Before that, I was a Postdoctoral Researcher on STEMMA (Systems of Transmitting Early Modern and Manuscript Verse) University of Galway, a project analyzing the circulation of poetry in the Early Modern period via computational methods, archival research, and literary study.
I have also had the pleasure of holding a SSHRC Postdoctoral Fellowship with the Electronic Textual Cultures Lab and Department of English at the University of Victoria, and I completed my PhD in English Literature at the University of Saskatchewan (August 2022), where my dissertation won USask’s Graduate Thesis Award (Ph.D) in the Fine Arts and Humanities.
My research interests are varied and include everything from the study of Classical texts to Game Studies, but my current research focuses on Renaissance Studies, Classical Reception, and Digital Humanities, with a particular interest in the Verse Letters of John Donne. My published work can be found in Digital Studies/Le champ numérique, Digital Medievalist, and the edited collection Intersectionality in Digital Humanities (Arc Humanities Press 2019), among other places. I also have a forthcoming chapter appearing in New Technologies in Medieval and Renaissance Studies, published by Iter Press (December 2024) and an article slated to appear Huntington Library Quarterly (October 2024 | Delayed). My dissertation, “Friendship and Sociability in the Verse Letters of John Donne,” reconsiders these works that make up nearly a sixth of Donne’s poetic canon in light of their nature as literary social artifacts reliant upon specific social circumstances for their critical appreciation.
