RESEARCH | DATA | HUMANITIES

Over the last decade I have leveraged my extensive experience in research, change management and strategic development to ensure that researchers in the Arts and Humanities are able to benefit from the affordances of digital technology. I believe these disciplines have a vital role to play in our increasingly data-driven and technologically complex society, as avenues for critique, experiment and ethical consideration

In my current role, I lead a team that delivers a broad skills development programme, researcher support activities, research software engineering, prototyping and strategic projects. I have worked in Higher Education for over fifteen years and have led a wide variety of academic and professional projects, often with a focus on bibliography, digitisation, and collections data. I have worked with national and international partners such as the British Library, JISC, CLOCKSS, Hathi Trust, Portico and ISSN. My PhD is in English Literature, with a focus on inter-media publishing. I have held a number of Fellowships including an AHRC Early Career Fellowship and the Alfred and Blanche Knopf Fellowship at the University of Texas, Austin.

I am also an Associate of the Higher Education Academy, and I serve as Vice Chair of the Board of Trustees for Capella, a national charity that provides support and education to young people with complex learning difficulties and additional needs.
