She also co-edited three collections: The Johns Hopkins Guide to Digital Media, with Marie-Laure Ryan and Benjamin Robertson (forthcoming 2014); Writing Surfaces: The Selected Fiction of John Riddell, with Derek Beaulieu (Wilfred Laurier University Press, 2013); and The Alphabet Game: a bpNichol Reader, with Darren Wershler (Coach House Books 2007).

Dr. Emerson’s will discuss her work in the Media Archaeology Lab and demo hardware and software housed in the lab, such as an early work of digital literature on an Apple IIe and a later “translation” of that same work into Hypercard on a Macintosh Powerbook 160. After her talk, visitors will be welcome to explore the lab’s collection further under the guidance of Dr. Emerson.
