Julie Meloni

Julie Meloni is a PhD candidate in the Department of English at Washington State University. Her exam areas are American Literature 1800-1945 and Textual Studies/Digital Humanities, but her list of teaching and research interests ranges from Transcendentalism to Critical Code Studies (there’s a connection—look to the posthuman).

She currently blogs at Academic Sandbox and can also be found @jcmeloni.

Julie is also still the technical director of an interactive media company in the San Francisco Bay Area, where her responsibilities include enterprise web application planning and development, database design, system administration, user interface consultation, and social media/social networking strategies. For the past ten years she has written, and still continues to write, technical books (now exclusively for Sams/Pearson), and was a contributing author for Wired/Lycos Webmonkey (programming tutorials) and CNET.com (software reviews) back in the olden days of the late 1990s.
