Amy’s main academic interest lies in exploring how computational methodologies can be used effectively for historical and literary research. She has participated in the Bass Connections project “Ethical Consumption Before Capitalism” (2021-2022), the Data+ project of the same name (summer 2022), and the Early Modern London project (2022-2023).
