Alex Christie completed his Ph.D. in English Literature from the University of Victoria. His research interests include spatial humanities, manuscript studies, modernist (twentieth-century) literature and art, digital pedagogy, and (most recently) prototyping digital humanities tools. His areas of technical interest include Linux, plain text publishing (vim, pandoc, LaTeX, etc.), and designing 3D applications for the web (Ruby on Rails, Three.js). Notable publications include Paper Processors, a book-length study of proto-digital word-processing techniques present in twentieth-century literary manuscripts (in progress), and American Science Fiction Television and Space, a co-edited book collection on science fiction television and theories of space (in press). Notable projects include z-axis research, which produces warped 3D maps of literary cities (zaxis.uvic.ca), and Pedagogy Toolkit, an open source project to help instructors integrate digital tools into their teaching (pedagogy-toolkit.org).
