Hi, I'm Dr. Celeste Tường Vy Sharpe! I use she/her pronouns. You’re welcome to address me with either Dr. or Prof. (each title is appropriate due to my education or role) and Sharpe or S.
My general research interests fall into two categories: 1) topics where the histories of disability and visual culture intersect, and 2) the scholarship of teaching and learning, specifically the access and accessibility of digital methods and data for learning history.
Before becoming a professor at Normandale, I lived in Canada for 2 years while I earned my Masters degree. I learned all about cold and how to layer there, which is helping me live my best life in Minnesota winters. I earned my PhD in history from George Mason University and worked at Carleton College in academic technology where I was a guide and collaborator for faculty who wanted to integrate tech and data into their classes.
I’m originally from central California, which has given me very strong opinions about fruits and vegetables. 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 it’s safe to do so!). 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.
Contact info: email [email protected]. I use to organize meeting times. Zoom meeting info and my office phone number are all in D2L.
I’ve set aside the following times each week to meet with you**:**
