Digital Humanities
Alongside traditional scholarship, I engage with digital humanities methodologies to bring archival and literary materials to wider public audiences.

Co-developed a digital exhibition on the Irish author and folklorist Padraic Colum for DCU’s Special Collections archive at John & Aileen O’Reilly Library. Full curatorial and content development, published on the Mused platform.
Little Faithful — Little Women 150
Collaborated with Anne K. Phillips and Gregory Eiselein from Kansas State University on a digital humanities project marking the 150th anniversary of Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women.
Editorial Leadership
I sit on the editorial boards of three international academic publications, bringing my expertise in postcolonial studies and South Asian literature to shape peer-reviewed scholarship in the field.
