We’re building a CSU-wide DH network, and we start with a virtual symposium sharing our work and knowledge, connecting and mentoring. Excited to share my work on electronic literature!

I am thrilled and honored to announce that I will be an international fellow/scholar in residence at the University of Hamburg, Germany as part of the “Poetry in the Digital Age” project, funded by the European Research Foundation and lead by Professor Claudia Benthien!

Description of the project: This research project is situated between literary studies, cultural studies and interart research. It will develop tools to analyze today’s multifaceted poetry formats, ranging from pop culture to works of ‘high’ art, by scrutinizing their forms and sites of presentation and performance. Research will be structured into three sub-projects, focusing on (1) poetry and performance, (2) poetry and music, as well as (3) poetry and visual culture. An interdisciplinary team comprising scholars from the fields of literary studies, media and film studies, performance studies, sound studies, speech science and visual culture studies will work together to map this field.

Runtime: 2021-2025, funded by the European Research Foundation (ERC Advanced Grant)

Super happy to see (but not be able to read) a review of my book, Bookishness, in Portuguese! By Daniela Côrtes Maduro https://proa.ua.pt/index.php/rual

I wrote up an interview with the brilliant poet and scholar of poetry, Mike Chasar, for Poetry International. Catch it here: “Poetry Unbound”

The article I co-wrote with Pam Lach, my co-Director of SDSU’s Digital Humanities Initiative, “Digital Infrastructures: People, Place, and Passion, a Case Study of SDSU” was just published in the most recent volume of the esteemed series Debates in DH.

“Digital Infrastructures: People, Place, and Passion, a Case Study of SDSU” in People, Practice, Power: Digital Humanities outside the Center – Debates in the Digital Humanities, eds. Anne B. McGrail, Angel David Nieves, Siobhan Senier (University of Minnesota Press, 2022): 189-201.

of Bookishness in Publishing Research Quarterly by Rafael Chaiken in June (2021) 37:513–515

Nice to get a good review from someone whose scholarship I admire. Mike Chasar for The Rumpus: #bookishness

Bookishness reviewed in The Year’s Work in Critical and Cultural Theory on “the emergent field of Book Theory.” https://academic.oup.com/ywcct/advance-article-abstract/doi/10.1093/ywcct/mbab003/6315044?redirectedFrom=PDF#bookishness

Somehow I forgot to post about this amazing story, published back in April, and written by Michael Seidlinger: “How Bookishness Affects the Book Biz” in Publisher’s Weekly by Michael Seidlinger | Apr 16, 2021.

I was super honored by this article, as it really pushed the impacts of my work. I also deeply enjoyed the interview-turned-conversation with the author.

The article takes up the interesting question: “Bookishness is a part of digital culture, but how is bookishness best reflected in readers and the publishing industry?”
