2013 Team
Project Coordinator, Sound Editor
Alexis Van Eyken is a senior at the University of Pennsylvania. She is an English major who originally became interested in the arena of digital humanities through her involvement with Penn’s Hoesley Digital Literacy Fellowship. She is excited about the possibilities for free-flowing, rearrangeable and collaborative narratives that web formats allow, and this summer, she is working with the Early Novels team to explore the interesting digital formats that can encourage a wide range of culture consumers to engage with the database. When she’s not in the library, Alexis can be found acting with Penn’s African American Arts Alliance or enjoying a meal at one of Philadelphia’s myriad fantastic restaurants.
