My service to my department, our university, and the disciplines of both 18th-century scholarship and digital humanities has been notable throughout my time with Marymount. I am a very active member of my department, participating in a variety of ways to serve our students and my colleagues; for instance, I design virtually all the publicity materials for our departmental events, including the ones you see on this page. I am equally active within the school and the university more broadly, serving on a number of committees as well as in leadership roles, and I am active in our School meetings. Within the past four years, my service to the discipline has dramatically increased, building on a long-standing foundation of disciplinary participation, collegiality, and visibility in the digital realm.
Not only have I chaired the Graduate Studies and the Rank and Tenure committees; I have also served there--as well as on Faculty Employment and Benefits--as a representative of the School of Arts & Sciences. This is important work, as shared governance is the foundation of our membership in the Marymount community and the academic community more broadly. I serve as a reviewer for several journals, and I have developed a sub-speciality of a sort as a reviewer of born-digital projects. As our delegate to the Virginia Humanities Conference and its 2015 President, I brought close to 100 speakers and participants to Marymount's campus to learn about the role of the humanities in the public sphere. During the past six years, I have contributed in many ways that are not only meritorious but also shape the way my discipline deals with emerging technologies.
