I am a lecturer in Digital Humanities at the Department of Digital Arts and Humanities at University College Cork. My research looks at literary spaces in the context of Iberian minoritised languages and cultures, particularly through the use of text-mining and GIS to map post-war Catalan literary and cultural heritage. I am also interested in multilingual approaches to the field of Digital Humanities, sustainability and the maker community, and the enhancing of learning and teaching through the ethical use of digital technologies.
My areas of expertise include 20th century Catalan literature and culture, the author Manuel de Pedrolo, Crime Fiction, Digital Geocriticism. I make stuff out of reclaimed materials and believe in the right to repair thinking.
I preside the Associació d’Humanitats Digitals Catalanes, a private non-profit organization created with the aim of promoting digital scholarship and best practices within the field of Catalan Studies. I am an amateur video-maker; you can find some of my work on Vimeo.
