About Me 

I am in the final term of a part-time Master's of Information Studies (Library stream).  I am also a staff member at the University of Toronto; my position (since July 2008) is Associate Director of the Jackman Humanities Institute.  My background is fairly eclectic:  I did a Ph.D. in English in 1997 specializing in medieval English drama, taught as a sessional instructor for three years, and then moved on to work with rare books at the Centre for Reformation and Renaissance Studies for another 6 years; I also did the collaborative program in Book History and Print Culture as a part of the MISt program, and I have taken the Orality and Literacy course with Twyla Gibson.  I am interested in scholarship in the Humanities in all of its forms, and throughout its long history; also in rare books, their digitization, and librarianship; and encompassing everything, in the ways that the digital revolution is affecting all of these fields.
