Alison Booth, Brown-Forman Professor of English; Affiliate, Digital Humanities Center in UVA Library, specializes in feminist cultural studies, nineteenth-century British and American literature and book history, and digital humanities, which includes interdisciplinary, accessible community and faculty-student research collaborations. Her research on the rhetoric and ideology of printed lives of any type of woman—Collective Biographies of Women, a database project (Scholars’ Lab and IATH; NEH and ACLS)—has included Jewish writers, “women of the Bible,” performers, and literary characters, and she has advised dissertations in religious studies. This project grew out of the bibliography for her book, How to Make It as a Woman (UChicago Press, 2004). Booth’s other books include Greatness Engendered: George Eliot and Virginia Woolf and most recently, Homes and Haunts: Touring Writers’ Shrines and Countries. A member of Congregation Beth Israel in Charlottesville, Booth has helped to establish the Graduate Certificate in Digital Humanities, directed by Rennie Mapp, a program open to any graduate student at the University.
