Jongkeyong Kim

I am a doctoral candidate and graduate assistant for the SIS (School of Interdisciplinary Studies) for 2020-2021. My research pursues an interdisciplinary studies which straddles Gothic studies and digital humanities. I, in my dissertation, argue that literary ghosts have always been material manifestations of writers’ Gothic imagination, tracing changing meanings of ghosts in the long nineteenth century British Gothic literature through the lens of (new) materialism and computational literary studies. The works of Horace Walpole, P. B. Shelley, Charlotte Riddell, Algernon Blackwood, and William Hope Hodgson are specifically examined. 

I am currently partaking in the SIS’s project incorporating intentional DEI principles/practices into the Introduction to University Life course. In addition, I, as one of co-founders of DHIG (Digital Humanities Interest Group) at TCU, have been introducing DH scholarship to TCU community since the fall of 2017.
