Patrick Tonks
Having recently received my PhD in comparative literature from the University of Michigan, I'm currently the Assistant Director for Programming at Michigan's Institute for the Humanities.
I work with faculty, librarians, and administrators at Michigan and around the country who teach, do research, and support initiatives both in and on digital environments.
In my own research, I use GIS mapping and other tools to read literary works from around the Atlantic. I am especially interested in "South-South" connections across languages and bodies of water: for example the Francophone Caribbean and Brazil.
