Hannah Huber, Postdoctoral Research Associate in Digital Humanities
Hannah Huber, Postdoctoral Research Associate in Digital Humanities at UIC, will discuss her digital component, currently in development, which will as a serve as a companion to her book project tentatively titled Sleep Fictions: Bodily Cycles on the Progressive Era Clock. Her monograph takes an interdisciplinary approach to literary and critical sleep studies to underscore the circumscription of sleep and social agency at the advent of modernity, arguing that writers from Charles Chesnutt to Charlotte Perkins Gilman mobilized sleep to convey race, class and gender disparities that belied the promising twenty-four-hour productivity of the Progressive Era. Her accompanying digital repository provides text visualization tools that will enable visitors to engage with her research findings and to further explore U.S. sleep cultures from the Progressive Era to today.
