Elizabeth Maddock Dillon is Distinguished Professor of English at Northeastern University, jointly appointed in the College of Social Sciences and Humanities. She co-directs the NULab for Texts, Maps, and Networks, and has received prestigious awards including the Barnard Hewitt Award and Heyman Prize.
Professor Dillon's research examines early American literature through transatlantic and digital frameworks, particularly emphasizing performance cultures, print networks, and colonial power dynamics. Her scholarship reconstructs cultural exchanges across the Black Atlantic and investigates how performance created counterpublics in slave societies.
Digital humanities projects include the Early Caribbean Digital Archive, which decolonizes archival practices, and Our Marathon, a crowdsourced Boston Bombing archive. Her publications analyze racial capitalism's origins in plantation economies and develop computational approaches to literary history.
Awards recognize her monograph 'New World Drama: The Performative Commons in the Atlantic World, 1649-1849' and contributions to Caribbean studies.
