Hi, I'm Dr. Celeste Tường Vy Sharpe! I use she/they pronouns.
My research interests are a combination of the histories of disability, mass media, visual culture, and philanthropy.
I’m originally from central California, which has given me very strong opinions about how fruits and vegetables should taste and the great experience of being 2-3 hours away from all the good things like Yosemite and the beaches.
I love to read (sci-fi, fantasy, YA stuff mostly) and watch TV/movies. I love a nature walk but not a scramble. I’m scared of heights. And falling. And falling from heights.
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 language, differing ideas, ages, and experiences so I continue the tradition by making things and having folks over to share.
I lived in Calgary, Canada for 2 years while I earned my Masters degree, which is where I learned all about cold and how to layer for the first time. I earned my PhD in history from George Mason University outside DC and made the move to Minnesota when I was hired by Carleton College in academic technology (basically I was a guide for faculty who wanted to integrate tech and data into their classes).
