Bio

Katherine D. Harris (@triproftri on BlueSky), Director of Public Programming for the College of Humanities & the Arts and a Professor in the Department of English and Comparative Literature, San José State University, specializes in Romantic-Era and 19th-century British literature, women’s authorship, the literary annual, textuality, editorial theory, and Digital Humanities. Her work ranges from pedagogical articles and blog posts on using digital tools in the classroom to traditional scholarship on a “popular” literary form in 19th-century England, all of which culminates in her three studies surrounding the literary annuals: (Ohio UP 2015); (Zittaw Press 2012); and (legacy Digital Humanities project).

As discussed in her articles for Polymath, Wiley-Blackwell's A New Companion to Digital Humanities, and Journal of Digital Humanities, Harris has engaged with Digital Humanities and Digital Pedagogy by experimenting with her undergraduate and graduate students on various forms of digital literary work – all of which culminates in co-editing the open access, online with the Modern Language Association and co-authoring the to the collection. Her latest articles on the digital archive for the Johns Hopkins Guide to Digital Media & Textuality and Textual Cultures cultivate ideas surrounding archives, archive fever, and Derrida. Most recently, Harris coordinated the year-long celebration, Frankenstein Bicentennial, to celebrate the 200-year anniversary of the publication of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and published in the Keats-Shelley Journal special edition of 50 Voices: 200 Years about new directions in British Romantic-era scholarship. After chairing the California Open Educational Resources Council, she co-authored the  “" and “.” Her latest work focuses on teaching Digital Humanities in teaching-intensive universities, the literary annual in 19th-century India, and the efficacy of Public Humanities.
