Welcome! I’m Camille, an Assistant Professor of English whose work explores ways in which storytelling and performance shape identity and build community. My research focuses on Shakespeare’s intersections with early modern and contemporary popular culture (Doctor Who, kaiju films, Bruce Springsteen), and I employ digital humanities pedagogy to explore these connections.
My current project is a virtual Globe Theatre, built in Minecraft, that models the material conditions of early modern staging. With the intention of empowering people to create and collaborate through digital co-presence, I’m testing this space with a group of actors. I plan to extend its application possibilities to classroom instruction and professional development.
