Welcome! I’m Mattie Burkert (she/they), a scholar of digital humanities, early modern and eighteenth-century literature, theater and performance, and the histories of science, technology, and gender. My research is currently focused on Extending the London Stage Database, which has received three years of funding (2024-27) from the Office of Digital Humanities at the National Endowment for the Humanities.
As an Associate Professor in the Department of English at the University of Oregon, I live and work in Kalapuya Ilihi, the traditional Indigenous homeland of the Kalapuya people. I currently direct UO’s Minor in Digital Humanities and serve as the liaison for a new emphasis domain in Cultural Analytics available to Data Science majors.
On this site, you can read more about my research (including my book and recent articles), download my syllabi and other teaching-related materials, and find links to my media appearances. You cannot (yet) follow my adventures in woodworking, knitting, parenting, fiction-reading, DIY home renovation, midcentury detritus hoarding, or PNW outdoors-ing.
