Comparative Literature

I'm currently overseeing a revision to Kanji alive (http://kanjialive.com) a kanji learning app and website and consulting on a German/Israeli, film & theatre archival project. I mainly work as a freelance translator/editor (http://didone.de) in Munich.

I am an Associate Professor of English (Coordinator of World Literature Program, Director of a National Writing Project site), and a relative newcomer to DH. I will be attending two THATCamps soon, and I am eager to transform my traditional approach to my scholarship into a more digitized multi-modal engagement. Also, I am enthusiastic about enhancing my pedagogical methods as I incorporate more digital tools in class and I continue to foster a more inquiry-based classroom. I am looking for a mentor who can guide me in this "mid-career" transition, and I am looking for opportunities for research collaboration which would enhance my overall DH skills & understanding.

I'm still learning the different programing and encoding languages and I'm looking for some simple data entry or other directed tasks to get my feet wet as I learn best by doing a concrete project. I am open to learning in particular XML and TEI.
