  1. Tell us a little bit about yourself. Where are you from? What\u2019s your favorite book? <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I am a PhD candidate in Sociology focusing on culture, social psychology, and religion. I grew up in Iowa and love how Atlanta has preserved so much green space within a metropolitan area. With so many parks and running trails, it\u2019s easy to forget you\u2019re in the big city! Lately I\u2019ve been reading Tolstoy\u2019s nonfiction. A Confession<\/em> and What Then Must We Do?<\/em> are both amusing and self-deprecating account of youthful convictions.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. What are you researching for your dissertation? <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      I study how groups use language to solve social problems. My previous research has examined how modern states differ in their public interpretations of national disasters, and how country musicians use linguistic codes to signal group membership. In my dissertation I develop a method for leveraging word embedding spaces to understand the American language of death and dying as it fluctuates over time.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. What interested you about this Fellowship? <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        I have had many years of wonderful collaboration with the folks at ECDS and am excited about the role of the center in bridging disciplinary boundaries. I think uniting under the umbrella of \u201cdigital scholarship\u201d offers an opportunity to come together and do interesting work!<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. What will you be working on this year for your Fellowship? <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          In my role as Associate Editor of Atlanta Studies, I am excited to learn more about digital publishing and back-end web development. I will also teach a number of R workshops over the course of the Fellowship, from basic orientation to advanced data visualization and text analysis with Twitter data.<\/p>\n
