After a hiatus, Coding Codices is back with a new series!

In this first episode, Julia Pelosi-Thorpe and Suzette van Haaren speak to Cosette Bruhns Alonso about digital editing and publishing, and visual art and media.

Since the recording of this episode in May 2024, Cosette Bruhns Alonso has been appointed Assistant Editor of Brown University Digital Publications. In this role, she guides the creation of born-digital scholarship that presents research in ways not achievable in conventional print format, intended for publication with university presses.

Cosette has published several articles and lectured widely on born-digital publishing, and has significant teaching, curatorial, and digital humanities experience. She received her Ph.D. in Italian Studies from the University of Chicago, and served as BUDP's inaugural Diversity in Digital Publishing Postdoctoral Research Associate. She previously held the position of Contemporary Publishing Fellow at the University of Pennsylvania Press and Penn Libraries, and as Assistant Editor of Book and Style Publications at the Modern Language Association. She is the Managing Editor of Dante Studies, the annual journal of the Dante Society of America.
