Alison Booth is Professor of English at the University of Virginia, where she specializes in transatlantic Victorian studies, biography, women’s history, and digital humanities. She is Academic Director of the Scholars’ Lab and co-directs the Graduate Digital Humanities Certificate. She is the author most recently of Homes and Haunts: Touring Writers’ Shrines and Countries (Oxford UP). Her digital project, Collective Biographies of Women (CBW), emerges from her previous book, How to Make It as a Woman: Collective Biographical History from Victoria to the Present (U. Chicago). CBW experiments with studying documentary social networks, or the prosopographies of representative persons and the cohorts and gendered typologies that emerge from these publications.
