I am a specialist in seventeenth-century literature, early modern cultural studies, and women's writing. My Ph.D. research looked at the intersections of witchcraft and prophecy in early modern English culture. My current work combines theories taken from Cognitive Science and Social Neuroscience with tools and research practices borrowed from Digital Humanities to help elucidate issues of monstrophy and spiritual messiness in Early Modern England including the intersections of prophecy, witchcraft, possession, and popular cultures. I am also studying how digital textualities, platforms, and visualizations function to facilitate pattern tracing and user comprehension in university level research. I am an active member in a number of national and international Digital Humanities projects, societies, and conferences, a regular participant in Humanities conferences and colloquia and workshops, and an enthusiastic and challenging teacher.
