- I am the proud recipient of an IMLS Early Career Award for a three-year research project to investigate how born-digital stewards describe their current needs and challenges; what professionalization pathways exist; and what role, impact, and value communities of practice have in born-digital stewardship.
- I am working with a group of iSchool educators on the NSF-funded Research Data Management Education Summit (RDMES) to take place at the ASIS&T Annual Conference in 2025.
- In the September/October issue of Archival Outlook, I discuss the Hacking into History project and our work on using public records to raise awareness and empower community members.
- I received a SILS Faculty Kilgour Research Award, to study how archival outreach and instruction efforts can engage K-12 educators. Currently, I am conducting a research study of North Carolina history and English teachers working throughout the state to understand how they use primary sources and archives in their classrooms. In Spring 2025, I will be working with SILS Professor Elliott Kuecker and doctoral student Lyric Grimes to hold a workshop for K-12 educators at the Durham Public Library.
- Dr. Rhiannon Bettivia and I have published a draft of Provenance, a chapter for the upcoming MIT Press book Digital Preservation: A Critical Vocabulary. Feedback is welcomed and will be accepted until December 2024.
- In November 2024, I will be presenting at the Association for Computers in the Humanities Annual Conference on community-driven approaches to historic data.
