The Team
| Project Lead | |
|---|---|
| Grace is currently pursuing an MA in Medieval Studies at Fordham University. She has been involved in a number of digital humanities projects, many of which focus on medieval London. As a Contributing Editor for the Medieval Londoners project (MLD), she researched the women of London's medieval craft guilds, and she is now the Project Manager for Medieval New York, a public-facing project that aims to identify the medieval elements of modern NYC (architecture, artifacts, influence, etc.) and develop related walking itineraries. This project forms the basis of her MA thesis, "Digital Humanities and Collaborative Research in Medieval Studies: Crowdsourcing the Get to Know Medieval Londoners Project," which examines the potential of crowdsourcing and volunteer-research collaboration to contribute to historical scholarship. |  |
