Nicole Basaraba is Assistant Professor in Digital Humanities at Trinity College Dublin's School of Languages, Literatures and Cultural Studies and Centre for Digital Humanities. She holds a PhD in Digital Humanities from Trinity College Dublin, MA from University of Alberta, and PGCertHE.

Her transdisciplinary research examines how interactive digital narratives enhance cultural heritage engagement through slow tourism and public history. Research explores participatory storytelling methods, cross-media heritage representation, and digital place-making across diverse cultural contexts.

Publication analysis identifies core research trajectories:

• 3D storytelling for heritage interpretation
• Transmedia approaches for contested histories
• Virtual dark tourism and paranormal investigations
• European cultural identity in digital narratives
• Citational justice in academic practice

She directs the MPhil in Digital Humanities and Culture program and coordinates interdisciplinary research initiatives bridging humanities and technology.
