Caitlin Postal (she/her) is a doctoral student at the University of Washington, working at the intersection of medieval literature, material culture, and digital humanities. Her current work considers how incorporating manuscript materiality into digital editions provides contemporary readers and editors a role in the meaning-making process. Interested in temporality and materiality, Caitlin has a keen interest in critical disciplinary history, including questions of canonicity, authority, and periodization. In addition to the RCLM, she is a contributor to the Archive of Early Middle English and Rolls and Scrolls After the Codex. She holds an M.A. in English from California State University Northridge and a B.A. in English from Westmont College.

Adjacent to her interests in textuality and materiality, she is interested in contemporary fan studies, costuming, and incorporating pop culture in the classroom. She also explores ethics and accessibility of educational technology, asking students to interrogate their user data and digital privacies. You may have seen her cosplay as Sansa Stark from Game of Thrones somewhere on the internet.
