After testing the waters in the Grad Center’s Digital Humanities program last year, I have taken the plunge into the English PhD. I am particularly interested in the ways periods of rapid technological transformation affect memory (cultural and personal). Many tools that seem to displace the burden of memory or alter the responsibility of cultural preservation, shift our sense of ourselves, and I am interested in developing work that tests or represents the ways we share memory across time and space and across the span of technological advances and obsolescence.

I look forward to another provocative and motivational semester with the ITP team!
