Lindsey M. Freer is an Oregon-based digital pedagogy and educational technology specialist, with additional scholarly expertise in 20th-century American poetics. Currently a program manager for the University of Oregon‘s Academic Extension division, she previously served as a senior fellow in instructional technology at the Macaulay Honors College of the City University of New York (CUNY). Her past teaching engagements include courses in literature, history, research, writing, and the digital humanities at institutions such as Columbia University, the Fashion Institute of Technology, the Macaulay Honors College at CUNY, and Hofstra University.

Also a PhD candidate in English at The Graduate Center, CUNY, Lindsey’s dissertation makes use of a wide variety of extra-poetic archival materials as a means of investigating the prophetic nature of publishing interventions and poetic forms deployed by American poets throughout the 1980s–forward-thinking creative projects through which those poets both predicted and began to negotiate the long-term political and cultural effects of the late Cold War. She is happily using her expertise in emerging educational technologies to re-imagine her dissertation in a similarly visionary fashion. In print form, Lindsey is the editor of Edward Dorn’s Charles Olson Memorial Lectures, a pamphlet published as part of the third series of Lost & Found: The CUNY Poetics Document Initiative. Her writing has also appeared in XCP: Cross-Cultural Poetics, and her photography has been published in the Virginia Quarterly Review.

A proud AmeriCorps alumna, having spent a year in national service as a volunteer teacher of technology skills with the Community Technology Empowerment Project, Lindsey currently resides in beautiful Eugene, Oregon.
