I am senior digital scholarship strategist at the Emory Center for Digital Scholarship and associated faculty in the Department of Music at Emory University. I earned my PhD in American studies at Emory's Institute for the Liberal Arts studying race, place, and Sacred Harp singing with an approach that combines critical bibliography and musicology with the study of the southern United States and my MFA in sound art from the Integrated Electronic Arts program at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. I am editor-in-chief and project-director of Sounding Spirit, an NEH-funded initiative producing digital scholarly editions and thematic collections of southern vernacular sacred songbooks. I am past managing editor of Southern Spaces, a peer-reviewed interdisciplinary area studies journal on place and space in the US South and Atlanta Studies, a digital journal and blog on contemporary and historical issues facing the Atlanta metropolitan region. I live in Decatur, Georgia. I serve as the vice president of the Sacred Harp Publishing Company and editor of Shape Notes: Journal of the Sacred Harp Publishing Company. My additional areas of expertise include religious music of the United States, experimental and electronic music, ethnography, digital humanities, and electronic publishing.
