Sloan Foundation and can be found in The Chronicle of Higher Education, Debates in Digital Humanities, differences: A Journal of Feminist Cultural Theory, and forthcoming in PMLA.
While technically this probably makes Lisa a New York DHer, she lives with her husband and daughters in Maplewood, NJ and looks forward to connecting with colleagues in the NJ area.
