• About

  I am the Head of Scholarly Communication and Publishing at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where I run the library's press, the Illinois Open Publishing Network (https://iopn.library.illinois.edu/). The press has a lean towards digital humanities publications, particularly those in Scalar or Omeka, as well as open textbooks (generally published in Pressbooks).
  
  I am on sabbatical during the 2024 calendar year, and from February-June 2024 I am working as a Visiting Scholar at the University of Victoria's Electronic Textual Cultures Lab. My primary research involves user studies related to digital publications and digital publishing platforms, particularly in the digital humanities and scholarly communications landscape. Additionally, I have continued to build on some of my prior dissertation work in literature and am the editor and primary investigator of the work-in-progress, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes: A Critical Edition (https://iopn.library.illinois.edu/scalar/gpbedition/index).
