As a Fulbright scholar (spring 2021), he will be working on the design of a digital project, MACMORRIS (Mapping Actors and Contexts: Modelling Research in Renaissance Ireland in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Century). This project is based in Maynooth University in the Republic of Ireland; it aims to restore the variegated literary culture of early modern Ireland. Online, it will present this milieu in richly annotated maps and will make available a comprehensive database of cultural actors.
