Jasmine Mulliken

I am a digital humanist working at the intersection of publishing, project development, and digital archiving. I currently serve as Production and Preservation Manager, Digital Projects at Stanford University Press, a role I've been in since 2016. My responsibilities include evaluating the technology powering the digital projects SUP publishes to ascertain their sustainability and amenability to current and developing web hosting, archiving, and preservation methods. To guide authors and developers to such objectives, I produce the Press’s digital project guidelines and recommendations on platforms, coding standards, and documentation. I also coordinate the production workflow, which involves managing the projects’ hosting environments, consulting with contracted authors and developers on projects’ technical attributes, production editing (including code and design editing), cataloging and registering projects with identifying metadata, advocating for improvement in classification vocabularies for born-digital work, and working with Stanford University Libraries and external preservation initiatives and agencies to identify, establish, and execute archiving solutions for each project’s unique needs and formats. I serve as the primary author of the program's blog, where I chronicle the challenges and discoveries associated with building a digital publishing program.

I earned a PhD in English from the University of Texas at Austin. My emphasis was Digital Literacies and Literatures. My dissertation on Joyce and remediation included a digital appendix, part of which I have expanded into the Mapping Dubliners Project, an online digital project that maps and analyzes the over 200 geographical references in James Joyce's Dubliners. By visualizing places and characters' movements on a map, the project uncovers complex political narrative layers in Joyce's early writing.
