Author Bio(s)

Matthew Evan Davis currently serves as a postdoctoral fellow with the Sherman Centre for Digital Scholarship at McMaster University. His digital research focuses on the “thingness” of digital presentation and the ways that digital tools and methods serve as shadow theories. His medieval scholarship focuses on fifteenth and early-sixteenth century medieval drama, hagiography, and cultural transmission through translation and reception.

Tamsyn Mahoney-Steel is the Digital Scholarship Specialist for the Sheridan Libraries at Johns Hopkins University. She also teaches courses on the digital humanities for the Johns Hopkins Advanced Academic Programs.

Ece Turnator, a PhD in Byzantine studies, worked on multiple digital projects and taught in the recent past. She is currently the Humanities and Digital Scholarship Librarian at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
