Teaching and Education

Crompton holds a Bachelor of Arts and Masters from Toronto Metropolitan University, as well as a PhD from York University.[4] After completing her postdoc at the University of Victoria in 2012 Crompton became an assistant professor of Digital Humanities (DH) at the University of British Columbia Okanagan (UBCO) campus where she taught DH, English, and Cultural Studies.[5] There she founded the Humanities Data Lab in the Faculty of Creative and Critical Studies, which is now called the AMP Lab.[6] Crompton eventually left UBC to teach at the University of Ottawa.[7] She has worked on numerous projects, and is a key member on the Linked Infrastructure for Networked Cultural Scholarship, Implementing New Knowledge Environments Partnership, and Transgender Media Portal projects.[8]

In 2023, Crompton was elected to the Royal Society of Canada (college) for innovation and advancing knowledge in the humanities.[9] Crompton was named one of the University of Ottawa’s early career researchers of 2019 which recognized excellence in research and teaching.[10] In 2015, while teaching at UBCO, Crompton received an Insight Grant of almost $300,000 for the Lesbian and Gay Liberation in Canada project.[11] Crompton has contributed to several books, including Doing Digital Humanities: Practice, Training, Research and Cultural Mapping and Digital Sphere: Place and Space.[12] She has also published numerous journal articles and book chapters.[13]

Research

Crompton’s research involves turning history into linked data format, and other interests include queer history, data modelling, and Victorian popular culture.[14] She is the co-director of the Lesbian and Gay Liberation in Canada project alongside Michelle Schwartz (Ryerson University),[15] an interactive database that tracks lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) history in Canada from 1964 to 1985.[16]
