STS 2025: Textual Remediations University of Pennsylvania
May 28-30, 2025

It has been a quarter of a century since Jay David Bolter and Richard Grusin released Remediation: Understanding New Media. In it, they introduced the term “remediation” as a way of naming the friction generated by material forms as they shape content. Although remediation was originally conceived as “a defining characteristic of new digital media,” the term’s influence has been felt not only in digital studies but across a network of related fields, from book history and textual scholarship to media history and digital humanities. 

WHAT IS RESEARCH?

I am planning a podcast called "Cunterbury", wherein we the co-hosts go through each of the Canterbury Tales and talk about their plot, characters, references, scholarship, and goof around. I am planning as well as demonstrating the queer/trans potential for Chaucer and teaching his corpus, as well as engaging with premodern race studies, feminism at large, disability studies etc. I want this project to be funny and informative, and probably will take a few years to get through everything -- so we'll go slow! My main point of inspirations would be the Hurly Burly Shakespeare Show starring Whamlet and Weird Studies featuring Phil Ford and JT Martel.
