Who We Are

As Assistant Director of the Humanities Center for Digital Humanities, I work closely with representatives from the Library, Academic Technology and Information Technology Services to foster interdisciplinary collaboration between faculty and undergraduate student-scholars, integrating digital methods deeply into the Liberal Arts curriculum. I teach courses on digital methods, history courses with strong digital components, and collaborative courses in a number of departments that incorporate digital project work. I also co-supervise the Digital Humanities Associate program that trains undergraduates to help coordinate research and pedagogy projects in humanities classrooms. Read my full profile.

I work in the Libe as the R&I Liaison Librarian for Humanities and Digital Scholarship. As part of that, I help to supervise the Digital Humanities Associates, and work closely with many other groups around campus and at St. Olaf to help support digital scholarship work. The thing that most excites me about digital scholarship is its potential for improving accessibility of scholarship, both in terms of reaching scholars with disabilities but also helping to cross language and writing system barriers.

Celeste is Carleton’s Academic Technologist for Instructional Technology. She earned a PhD in history from George Mason University in Fall 2016. Her scholarly interests lie in visual culture and the creation of social identities. Since coming to Carleton in 2016, Celeste has been involved with student engagement, digital storytelling, ePortfolios, and scholarship for teaching and learning. She works with classes using Omeka and WordPress, as well as those pursuing digital assignments (e.g., podcasting, website building, digital exhibits).

He has a little experience in the Digital Humanities but has always been fascinated in finding different and innovative ways to communicate information and tell stories. Outside of academics and the Digital Humanities, he loves running, reading comic books, acting, and watching movies.

Grace is a History major from New Jersey concentrating in Ancient and Medieval history. She’s always loved both history and computer science and is excited to finally have found a field that embraces both and to explore existing and potential partnerships between technology and the humanities. She has experience in web design and coding and was a DHA last year and am taking a class right now where we are making a video game about the Boston Massacre. Her personal interests include reading, fostering dogs, KRLX radio, Minecraft, Synchrony.

Digital Humanities Associate

Luna is a junior Computer Science and Linguistics double major, with thoughts of minoring in Cognitive Science. This is her second year as a DHA, and, in terms of outside digital humanities experience, she’s done some minor work with Carleton’s Dakota Language Project (with hopes to do more in the coming years). She has a penchant for data sanitization and efficient design, and can frequently be found grumbling at spreadsheets in the Libe.

Digital Humanities Associate

Miyuki is a prospective History and Studio Art double major from Tokyo, Japan. She has been interested in how technology fosters humanities and is excited to learn about Digital Humanities which harbor both fields. This is her first year to work as a Digital Humanities Associate at Carleton and she has experience of coding and managing a blog site. She also loves creating art, photography, playing the viola, and taking a walk/running in the Arb.
