I am aLecturer in Digital Humanities at the University of Southampton. Prior to starting my new role, I worked as a Lecturer in Digital Curation in the Digital Humanities at King's College London (2016-2023).
Since completing my doctorate in 2016, I have developed a research and teaching agenda that explores intersections between information, digital curation and gender. I have a strong track record publishing research on digital curation, digital cultural heritage and creative pedagogies for the digital humanities. Likewise, my approach to supervising doctoral, masters and undergraduate students fosters creative and critical work. Together, my approaches to research and teaching fosters interdisciplinary and collaborative practices in the digital humanities.
I completed my doctoral work at the University of Missouri in the School for Information Science and Learning Technologies. During my doctoral work, I explored the history of American librarianship as a lens for understanding professional identities and information skills within gendered professionals spaces. This research has informed my approach to theorising men and masculinities within information spaces. My current research emphasises the creative potential of men to re-shape masculinities through information work that in inclusive and participatory. Leading up to my doctoral work, I completed my master's in library and information science with an emphasis in archives management at Simmons University. While completing my master's, I developed interdisciplinary approaches to information management and cultural heritage, which reflects my earlier professional work in museums and visual resource collections.
I have a strong commitment to inclusive forms of research and teaching, and I strive to actively listen and reflect on strategies for forming partnerships that push the boundaries of traditional modes of social science and humanities research and practice. My CV reflects my ability to organize, and manage projects, as well as my ability to disseminate research findings. As a list of my past efforts, my CV also reflects my investment in collaborative and inclusive forms of work that require flexible multitasking and long term strategic planning. -
