Christin Washington is a PhD Candidate in the Department of American Studies and a Flagship Fellow at the University of Maryland, College Park. She is also the Assistant Director of the African American Digital & Experimental Humanities (AADHum) research and design lab. Christin’s scholarship stretches media and modes of digital storytelling (i.e. photography, photogrammetry, laser scanning, virtual reality) to articulate cultural memory across black geographies. Her current research project, 9Night and Good Mourning, uses speculative mapping to look at Caribbean women’s lives in the context of mourning, space, and digital infrastructure.

She holds an MA in American Studies, a Digital Studies in the Arts and Humanities (DSAH) certificate, and a Museum Scholarship and Material Culture (MSMC) certificate from the University of Maryland, College Park. She is an alumna of Amherst College where she graduated summa cum laude with a BA in Black Studies and Political Science.
