About

I’m Annie Swafford (although I publish under my full name, Joanna Swafford), and I’m the new Digital Humanities Specialist at Tufts University. Before that, I was the Assistant Professor for Interdisciplinary and Digital Teaching and Scholarship at the State University of New York, New Paltz. For more specific details on my educational background, publications, and other information, check out my Curriculum Vitae.

As a graduate student, I built two digital humanities tools to facilitate music and literary scholarship:  Songs of the Victorians, an archive and analysis of parlor and art song settings of Victorian poems with an interactive framework that highlights each measure of a score in time with its music, and Augmented Notes, a tool that lets users build their own interdisciplinary websites like Songs of the Victorians.  (To find out more about these tools, see https://annieswafford.wordpress.com/digital-humanities-projects/).  I was also lead developer for the first version of Prism, a tool for collaborative interpretations of text.  You can also follow me on Twitter (@annieswafford).
