We’re very excited to announce that Whitney Trettien will be this year’s keynote speaker!

Whitney Trettien is Assistant Professor of English at the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Trettien specializes in the history of text technologies and has a forthcoming book with the University of Minnesota Press, Cut/Copy/Paste, that brings digital humanities and media studies approaches to bear on the use of fragmented texts in early modern “makerspaces.” Her other work includes Provoke, a web-based collection of sound studies scholarship, and chapters and articles in Journal of Medieval and Early Modern Studies, Humanities and the Digital, and Digital Humanities Quarterly. Dr. Trettien is also the co-editor and co-designer (with Frances McDonald) of thresholds, an experimental, online zine for creative & critical scholarship.
