My research and teaching focus on colonial science, Indigenous literacies, racial category making, and gender systems in the early Americas (1492-1700). At UVa, I'm involved in two digital projects. Multepal (meaning "Joint Rule" in Classic Yukatek Maya), which I co-organize with Rafael Alvarado of the Data Science Institute, is a thematic research collection for students and scholars of Mesoamerica.

I am a career digital humanist with interests in building software and organizations that support the scholarly use of technology, and teaching about digital technology as a cultural system. A writer and hacker, I've published essays on the digital humanities and have written code for several projects, including the Princeton Charrette Project. I am currently Research Faculty at UVa's Data Science Institute, where I teach and conduct research on cultural analytics. You can follow me on Twitter at @ontoligent.
