While spending a lot of time looking to the past, Christina Boyles has her sights set on influencing the future as she creates archives that provide useful tools, resources and protocols for disaster and emergency response in vulnerable, marginalized communities.
As an Assistant Professor of Culturally Engaged Digital Humanities and Digital Rhetoric in the Department of Writing, Rhetoric and American Cultures, Boyles studies how different communities experience disasters and measures different responses to those events. She is driven to help improve the quality of life for people in need by addressing discriminatory policies or injustices levied on particular regions.
