I'm the Digital Scholarship Strategist at the University of Michigan Library, where I support digital scholarship initiatives, coordinate events, and work with faculty and graduate students to implement digital projects. I work with a lot of new editors.^[1] Sadly, I don't get to edit as much as I'd like, but I like to create new stubs. I wrote a thing.^[2]

I often use this page for instruction sessions, so there may be random content here from time to time. I watch a lot of television and read lots of trashy novels.

Biographical sketch

I have a PhD in English from University of California, Santa Barbara, where I researched global literature, cities, labor, and migration. I was previously a Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow of Transnational Cultures and a Visiting Assistant Professor of Asian American Studies at University of California, Los Angeles. You can find me online here.

I was introduced to Wikipedia editing by Adrianne Wadewitz, at a Feminist THATCamp digital humanities unconference, where she led us in a "Feminists Engage Wikipedia Edit-a-Thon." I continue, as much as I can, to attend edit-a-thons.

I've been active in the Wikipedians Los Angeles group, and have been hosting Art+Feminism edit-a-thons since 2015.^[2]

This semester I am working with two classes on Wikipedia editing projects at University of Michigan.^[1]

Conflict of interest statement

I am employed by the University of Michigan, and serve on the steering committees of HASTAC and FemTechNet.
