Projects & Initiatives

Center for the Future of Trust

I serve as Co-Director of the Center for the Future of Trust, a multidisciplinary research lab at Emory where Prof. Jo Guldi and I lead computational research on historical and text-based corpora, bringing AI methods to humanistic inquiry and humanistic theory to AI evaluation. I help guide the selection and implementation of our computational methods and mentor students and colleagues in research writing toward publication. One current project counts references to dates across Wikipedia’s language editions to measure how they differently narrate history, clustering languages to find patterns of consensus and dissent; we are developing benchmarks to then test whether AI systems preserve that disagreement or flatten it.

Digital Project Management Experience

At Northeastern University, I managed several digital projects in my roles as a Fellow of the NULab for Texts, Maps, and Networks and a Research Associate of the Digital Scholarship Group in Northeastern University Libraries. I also worked as a research assistant on a multigenerational project in writing program assessment that inspired my commitment to mutual mentorship of students and colleagues.

Editorial Experience

I currently serve on the Editorial Collective of the Journal of Interactive Technology and Pedagogy (JITP). I am Co-editor of Reviews with Lauren Girouard (University of Michigan). I also convene a task force developing guidelines for editors, authors, and reviewers on generative AI use.

I have previously served as a Managing Editor of Digital Humanities Quarterly, the leading open-access journal in Digital Humanities. I co-wrote a proposal for an NEH Digital Humanities Advancement Grant to continue development of Biblio, a centralized bibliographic resource for the journal.
