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 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 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 was a guide for 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. That being said, I can’t make a pie crust to save my life and I’ve had so many people try to teach me that I’m clearly a lost cause at pie crust making.
