In several of my classes, students have had the opportunity to co-curate exhibits at local museums or libraries or online.

 

One example of this work is the website VirtualFeast.net. As far as I know, it is the most comprehensive annotated filmography of Food films, as well as food-related interpretations of films that would not normally be part of such a list.

​

Every time I teach "The Feast in Philosophy, Film, and Fiction," students write essays about feasting in films, annotate food films for the filmography, and write essays about art that related to feasting. You can find all these things o the website.

My most significant contribution to the digital humanities is the NEH-funded project Jane Austen's Desk.  Sarah Schaefer Walton and I have worked on this project since 2018, and it has been (and continues to be) illustrated by Harriet Wu. To see a full list of the talented crew that we assembled for this project, see our Team page. Jane Austen's Desk takes the user into an imaginative and interactive rendering of Austen's world as of March 1813, when she has just published Pride and Prejudice and is revising a very different novel, Mansfield Park. We would be extremely grateful for any donations towards this project.
