Hello!
My name is Isaiah Schlimm. I am a senior at Grinnell college studying English and Philosophy. My academic interests lie in poetry, games, digital humanities, and philosophy of religion. In the future, I would like to work in the nonprofit sector. In the past I have interned with organizations like The Christian Century and The Tribal Law and Policy Institute, doing editorial and communications work respectively. As a Vivero Fellow I have a passion for making complex topics and ideas accessible through digital mediums. Two years ago I had the pleasure of partnering with Grinnell College’s Center for Careers, Life, and Services to help design a website for Map the System, an international student research project. Since the start of last fall, I partnered with Grinnell College Professor Jen Shook to work on Instead of Redface, a digital resource documenting material for instructors teaching and studying Indigenous performance in the United States. When I’m not typing away and working on a website or paper, I can be found hiking, reading, or wrangling my seven siblings around town.
