I am currently THATCamp Coordinator for the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media, in which capacity I provide support for THATCamp organizers and participants, run the fellowship program, and maintain http://thatcamp.org. At the University of Virginia, while earning my doctorate in English, I encoded texts in first SGML and then XML for the Rossetti Archive and the Electronic Text Center. My 2004 dissertation is a history of the villanelle, the poetic form of Dylan Thomas' "Do not go gentle into that good night" and Elizabeth Bishop's "One Art." Since then, I have taught graduate and undergraduate courses in Victorian literature and poetry as well as in the digital humanities and in advanced academic research methods at NYU and NCSU. I held the Council on Library and Information Resources Postdoctoral Fellowship from 2004 to 2006.
