Education
Dué Hackney received her BA in Classical Philology from Brown University in 1996, then her A.M. and PhD from Harvard University in 1998 and 2001 respectively.

Career
Dué Hackney joined the department of Modern and Classical Languages at the University of Houston in 2002. She held a Center for Hellenic Studies fellowship in the academic year 2004–2005.

Since 2001, Dué Hackney has been the co-editor of the Homer Multitext Project, incorporating the older Homer & the Papyri project, with Mary Ebbott at the Center for Hellenic Studies. This project aims to offer a digital edition of Homer through free access to a library of texts and images of or relating to manuscripts of the Iliad or the Odyssey. In 2013, Dué Hackney was awarded a three-year grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, as co-principal investigator with Ebbott, for a project to further the progress of the Homer Multitext Project, by linking a digital edition of Venetus A, the oldest complete extant manuscript of the Iliad, with images of the manuscript.

Dué Hackney is a co-leader of the University of Houston arm of the Texas Digital Humanities Consortium, an organisation for digital humanities in four Texas-based universities, begun in 2014.
