March 21, 2026: Panelist on "Exhumations: Archives, Textual Recovery, and the American Gothic." I discussed a digital literary recovery project on Multiethnic American Gothic literature that I designed, as well as The Recovery Hub for American Women Writers' mission to support scholars working on digital projects recovering the work of women and LGBTQ+ writers of the Americas.
Summer 2025 Teaching Fellow with the Digital Ethnic Futures Consortium (DEFCon). For this fellowship, I completed a syllabus for an upper-level course on multiethnic Gothic American literature with a significant digital humanities component, as well as lesson plans for a final DH project for the class, which will be published in the DEFCon online resource repository.
