MoEML history was made at the Renaissance Society of
America annual conference in New York City from March 27-29th when
project alumnus Cameron Butt (now an MA student at
the University of Waterloo) presented
on the same RSA panel as Project Director Janelle
Jenstad. Cameron’s paper was called Geography, Performance,
Technology, and Spectatorship in The Merry Wives of
Windsor.Cameron Butt, Diane Jakacki, and Janelle
Jenstad @ RSA Janelle co-presented a paper with Diane
Jakacki of Bucknell
University called Mapping Toponyms in Early Modern Plays with
MoEML and the ISE. RSA audience members were not only impressed with the
interoperability between these two projects, but also very excited to learn
about the recent development of the MoEML
Gazetteer.
Assistant Project Director, Kim McLean-Fiander, was
also at the RSA this year. She presented on her own British
Academy/Leverhulme-funded project called Women’s Early Modern Letters Online
(WEMLO), a finding aid and editorial interface for
women’s letters from c. 1400-1700, that she co-directs with James Daybell of
Plymouth University.
Kim @ the RSA Opening Reception with some
of the UVic contingent
Kim, Janelle, Diane, and Cameron all presented for the New Technologies in
Medieval and Renaissance Studies panels that were co-organized by
Diane, Laura Estill (another MoEML alumna), and Michael Ullyot, the RSA’s new Electronic Media
Chair.
