Education

Career

[edit]

Dué Hackney joined the department of Modern and Classical Languages at the University of Houston in 2002.[3] She held a Center for Hellenic Studies fellowship in the academic year 2004–2005.[2]

Since 2001, Dué Hackney has been the co-editor of the Homer Multitext Project, incorporating the older Homer & the Papyri project,[1][4] with Mary Ebbott at the Center for Hellenic Studies.[5] This project aims to offer a digital edition of Homer through free access to a library of texts and images of or relating to manuscripts of the Iliad or the Odyssey.[6][7] In 2013, Dué Hackney was awarded a three-year grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, as co-principal investigator with Ebbott, for a project to further the progress of the Homer Multitext Project, by linking a digital edition of Venetus A, the oldest complete extant manuscript of the Iliad, with images of the manuscript.[8]

Dué Hackney is a co-leader of the University of Houston arm of the Texas Digital Humanities Consortium, an organisation for digital humanities in four Texas-based universities, begun in 2014.[9]
