This has been a wild semester, full of some unlikely work. The most unusual was perhaps my #SelfieClass, which was covered in the LA Times, BBC, and XinHua, thanks to this amazing press release.

BIG NEWS: As of June 1, the book I co-authored with Jessica Pressman and Jeremy Douglass is out from Iowa Press! Reading Project: a collaborative analysis of William Poundstone’s Project for Tachistoscope {Bottomless Pit} makes the argument that digital humanities scholarship requires more intensive collaboration. In the book, we three authors write as a team, each contributing our preferred methodology. Mine is, of course, reading the code. This is a beautiful edition that is the fruit of over 6 years of collaboration.
