Charun Upara

Hi! I’m Charun, a computer science and history double major from Chiang Rai, Thailand. I will be working with Professor Sarah Purcell on a companion website for her forthcoming book, Spectacle of Grief: Public Funerals and U.S. Civil War History and Memory.

Other than my interests in technology and the humanities, I also enjoy playing music and reading. I play in a couple of bands and also write solo instrumental guitar pieces, so catch me in concerts around campus throughout the year!
