"Niamh Clarke holds a BA in English Literature with a minor in History from the University of Houston. She joined the 1771 Project as an undergraduate through the REACH Program. Here, Niamh used Zotero for digital filing and co-authored a poster presentation with Jules Hamilton titled "Exploring Satire: Mode or Genre? Perspectives from Edinburgh, 1771," presented at UH's Undergraduate Research Day (2024). As a research assistant managing the 1771 UH SIPHDH interns, she used OCR software and Python in Google Colab for text preprocessing, developed training materials, and worked on biographies. In the past, Niamh worked for "Sharing Stories from 1977: Putting the National Women’s Conference on the Map." Her contribution involved researching and writing biographies of six Kansas representatives. As a 2023 Rowan Scholar, Niamh collaborated with Houston's Grackle & Grackle, interviewing Texas authors and writing about their works. She served as the 2023-2024 Treasurer of Sigma Tau Delta (Epsilon Phi Chapter) and is a member of Phi Kappa Phi. Niamh's research explores guilt, ambition, and isolation in literature and film through psychoanalysis and philosophy, while also analyzing historical events and social dynamics to reveal power struggles and complexities of identity and heritage. Niamh plans to pursue a Ph.D. in Irish literature. "
