My name is Aisling (pronounced Ashling) and I am a curious person approaching middle age and thinking about lots of things.
I teach courses about digital cultural heritage and data in the humanities at Macalester College, where I also manage the Digital Liberal Arts Program.
Since January 2026 I’ve been maintaining a weekly Substack called Tender Hybrids, where I reflect on growing up cross-culturally through objects and other things in my life, including, for example, an old geography textbook belonging to Michael Collins, and a deflated Bluey balloon from my daughter’s 4th birthday party.
