Micki McGee is an Associate Professor of Sociology and American Studies at Fordham University. She co-founded that university’s Digital Humanities Working Group in 2009, served as a founding member of NYCDH, and now serves as a Director of the Fordham Digital Scholarship Consortium. Her recent research includes a topic modeling project on a large corpus of autism spectrum disorders narratives.
