Welcome to the fall term, New Media and Culture certificate network! We’re excited to continue supporting your work on and beyond campus. As the year progresses, here’s a quick reintroduction to this year’s NMCC team.

Interim Director Mattie Burkert (she/they) is an Associate Professor in the Department of English at the University of Oregon. Dr. Burkert directs the Minor in Digital Humanities and is a scholar of digital humanities, early modern and eighteenth-century literature, theater and performance, and the histories of science, technology, and gender.

Program Assistant Zoë Gamell Brown (she/they) is a Ph.D. student in the University of Oregon Indigenous, Race, and Ethnic Studies’ inaugural cohort, and they are pursuing a New Media Culture certificate. Zoë’s research explores the shoals where race and Indigeneity meet within Boviander ecologies, using critical autotheory to practice creative, culinary, and spiritual care.

We look forward to continuing to connect with and grow the NMCC network on campus and virtually. If you are receiving this email as a current or prospective student, know that NMCC is here to support your interests and new approaches to digital technology, collaboration, creativity, and scholarship.
