I'm currently finishing my doctoral dissertation in medieval history at Fordham University and lecturing online for the University of Arkansas, Little Rock. For the past two years I have been researching and writing in Italy, and therefore have been very dependent on technology to communicate with my committee. Since I work with material culture, I have also relied heavily on digitized museum and archive databases. I'm currently on the job market and therefore interested both in using technology to improve my teaching and to help me get an 'alt-academic' job.
