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.
