She is focusing her studies in African American literature and is complementing her studies with methodologies from the emerging field of digital humanities. She is narrowing her focus to the history of African American short fiction, an immensely understudied form of literary expression, with special attention to Black women writers and characters by collecting and organizing information that reveals trends and patterns among select short stories. Jade is currently working with Dr. Rambsy as a graduate assistant on the “Black Anthology Project.”
