Hi all!

My name is Andie Silva and I have been a professor at York College for 3 years.  I earned my PhD from Wayne State University in Detroit, and before that I was in Brazil. Belo Horizonte, to be exact:

In addition to teaching, my research passions are book history, editing, and publishing, especially in the early modern period (1500-1700). You can see some of the articles I’ve written and my academic bonafides in my professional website.

I also am obsessed with popular culture. My current TV show obsessions are Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and RuPaul’s Drag Race.

I’m also (gasp!) a Digital Humanist! You might want to know what that means for me: http://andiesilva.net/blog/are-you-a-digital-humanist/  (it’s an old post that needs some updating! maybe we can craft something together by the end of term?

This semester I’m looking forward to exploring new ways of reading with you and creating some original digital work. I’m open to ideas and projects, so please come to me if you’d like to do some creative work outside the constrictions of our syllabus!
