Hi, I'm Dr. Celeste Tường Vy Sharpe! I use she/her pronouns.
My general research interests fall into two categories: topics where the histories of disability and visual culture combine, and topics in the scholarship of teaching and learning, specifically the access and accessibility of digital methods and data for learning history.
I’m originally from central California, which has given me very strong opinions about certain fruits and vegetables. Before becoming a professor at Normandale: I lived in Canada for 2 years while I earned my Masters degree, which is where I learned all about cold and how to layer. I earned my PhD in history from George Mason University and worked at Carleton College in academic technology (basically I helped faculty who wanted to integrate tech and data into their classes).
In my downtime, I love to cook and bake. I grew up in a family where making food and feeding others was a major way we connected across differing ideas, ages, and experiences so I continue the tradition by making things and hosting large meals (when there isn't a pandemic). That being said, I can’t make a pie crust to save my life. I’ve had so many people try to teach me that I’ve finally accepted that I’m not going to be a champion pie crust maker. Taking nature walks and exploring parks and trails is one of my favorite ways to explore and get to know Minnesota in all its 4 season glory.
