I am a specialist in seventeenth-century literature, early modern cultural studies, and women's writing. My Ph.D. research looked at the intersections of witchcraft and prophecy in early modern English culture. My current work combines theories taken from Cognitive Science and Social Neuroscience with tools and research practices borrowed from Digital Humanities to help unpackage the tensions and interplay between diverse spiritualities of 16th and 17th-century England and their provocative intersections with scientific, medical, and cultural institutions of the period. I am also studying how digital textualities, platforms, and visualizations function to facilitate pattern tracing and user comprehension in university level research. I am an active member in a number of national and international Digital Humanities projects, societies, and conferences, a regular participant in Humanities conferences and colloquia and workshops, and an enthusiastic and challenging teacher.
