I work on the material cultures of text, which sometimes looks like #bookhistory, sometimes looks like literary history of print, sometimes looks like information studies, and sometimes looks like Black print culture or African American literary studies/#c18 - #c19 American literary studies. Large/multitudes.

I work at the University of Wisconsin-Madison where I'm an associate professor in the #iSchool and direct the Center for the History of Print and Digital Culture. A lot of my students come from #libraries, #digitalhumanities, #museums, and anywhere that works with and studies #books, #materialtexts, and #archives.

I'm also a letterpress printer and increasingly interested in exploring how I know things through my hands. I might be the only #BillsMafia fan here but Bills twitter was a scene of joy for me and Bills fandom is baked into my lizard brain. I pedal to nowhere on #Peloton and am a mediocre distance runner.

#introduction for the glammr.us:

I’m a material texts librarian & archivist at a liberal arts college in the US & my professional interests run in spirals, loops, & rushing zigzags to include #libraries #archives #HistoryOfScience #BookHistory #RareBooks #ArtistsBooks #MaterialTexts #bibliography & #memory work & #imagination.

I’m also interested in #birds #naturalworld #environment & #music. I overwhelm myself when enumerating a list because there’s always so much more. Hello!

Here’s me using some hashtags for my interests in case it helps find connections on this megafauna site.

#libraries #archives #HistoryOfScience #BookHistory #birds #music #RareBooks #ArtistsBooks #MaterialTexts #bibliography and probably a lot more but I can never be exhaustive in a list!
