Biographical sketch
My name is Adrianne Wadewitz and I recently received a PhD from Indiana University in English literature. My dissertation was on the self and sensibility in eighteenth-century British children's literature.
It argues, broadly, that writers at the end of the eighteenth century took advantage of the emerging genre of children’s literature to promote a version of subjectivity that challenged the dominant Lockean model by embracing a Rousseauvian models based on the passions. Highlighting the role of shared suffering in the formation of selfhood, writers such as Mary Wollstonecraft, Anna Laetitia Barbauld, Charlotte Smith and Maria Edgeworth fashioned a “sympathetic self” through a reimagination of the discourse of sensibility. Their new discourse emphasized the unbounded nature of subjectivity and the importance of benevolence in both the child and adult self. Significantly, such a self applied to both sexes and opened up a sphere of political action for the child.
Partially because of my work here, the digital humanities has become a developing interest of mine and I have presented academic papers on Wikipedia.
Apart from literature and history (which are integrally tied together for me), some of my hobbies include playing classical piano (I've studied for 25 years) and reading popular science books.
I have an alternate account for WP:NEWT - User:Enlightenment1789.
Wikium vitae
I made my first edit to Wikipedia on 18 July 2004. In the past, I have reviewed at Featured article candidates, Peer Review and Good article nominations. I particularly enjoy reviewing literature articles, since that is my area of expertise, and science articles to ensure their accessibility to the general public. If you would like me to review your article, please leave a message on my talk page and I will give it a careful and thoughtful review. I will also respond to specific copy editing requests.
Currently, I am engaged in outreach work, encouraging professors to contribute to and teach with Wikipedia. I am working with the Public Policy Initiative as a Campus Ambassador to further these goals. I am also teaching my own course on children's literature which integrates a GLAM component and a composition assignment in one seamless assignment, which you can find here.
I would specifically like to thank Kaldari who helped initiate a wiki-newbie on Mary Wollstonecraft and encouraged me to take it to FAC. I would also like to thank the following editors for their insightful contributions to projects I have worked on: Opabinia regalis, lquilter, qp10qp, WillowW, scribblingwoman, AnonEMouse, Markus Poessel, Outriggr, Scartol, Roger Davies, Ruhrfisch, Maria, Moni3, Brianboulton, Xover, Simmaren, Ealdgyth, Elcobbola, Laser brain, Shoemaker's Holiday, Durova, Cirt, and Casliber. I would also like to thank Jeeny who polished up many images for me. I wish that there were more Wikipedia editors such as these and that I could work with them more often.
