Margaret Simon is an assistant professor of English at North Carolina State University. Her research focuses on sixteenth- and seventeenth-century English literature, material cultures, history of the emotions, and the history and literary representation of early modern writing practices. Her current scholarship concerns materiality and comparative media studies, looking to how early modern printed texts rendered objects in language and graphic technologies, as well as their resonance with today’s digital, and particularly three-dimensional, archives. In pursuing these relations, Dr. Simon also works across a range of scholarly communications formats, from print to digital to fabricated forms. Most recently, her work appears or is forthcoming in Studies in English Literature 1500-1900, thresholds: a digital journal for criticism, and Transformations: A Journal of Inclusive Pedagogy.
