My scholarship in the digital humanities has been supported by a Graduate Fellowship in the Digital Humanities, funded by The Society for the Humanities and the Cornell University Library.

In the summer 0f 2019, I began developing The Global Poetics Project, a crowd-sourced, public, and digital humanities initiative that maps the migrations, travels, and cross-national relationships of poets around the world as they appear in poems, letters, interviews, as well as correspondences I initiated with poets. Through this interdisciplinary project, I have developed competencies in Standard Query Language, Python, CSS and HTML, and built collaborative relationships with international poetry organizations and coders.

My digital poetry project is crowd-sourced and made publicly available because I am committed to fostering relationships within and beyond the academy, as well as to generating public academic knowledge as a form of community engagement and enrichment.    

Alongside my close-reading, literary practices, some of my scholarship utilizes digital methodologies (distant-reading, specifically) so that I can engage with a number of global texts.

This project is ongoing.
