She is an invited participant of an NEH Digital Humanities Implementation Grant project, “Serious Sims: Scaling Digital Gaming for Humanities Pedagogy and Practice,” for which she will develop a role-playing simulation on Women, Work, and Democracy to engage students in debates surrounding Equal Work for Equal Pay, working motherhood, gender, race, class, and sexuality. She currently is a fellow on the NSF-funded ADVANCE IT grant “UNH Unbiased” and chairs a subcommittee to address career-life balance issues relating to the recruitment of women and underrepresented STEM faculty. She also is a member of UNH’s President’s Commission on the Status of Women.
