Digital Humanities Working Group

The Humanities Digital Workshop is pleased to announce a new interdisciplinary Digital Humanities Working Group for Fall 2024. The working group will offer a space for faculty and advanced graduate students to present works-in-progress for feedback before submitting their work to an external conference, journal or grant body. Additionally, we aim to create a regular community gathering space for researchers in the digital humanities across disciplines in Arts and Sciences. Scholars from all subfields of the digital humanities, including but not limited to cultural analytics, media studies, critical digital studies, critical data studies, and history of science and technology, are welcome. Lunch will be provided. 

The working group will consist of monthly meetings in which one or two faculty or grad students will present a current project. The schedule for Fall 2024 is as follows:

1. Friday, September 27th, 11am-12pm:

• Gabrielle Kirilloff (Assistant Professor, English): “Using LLM-generated literary text to study cultural discourse around literary style.

2. Friday, October 25th, 11am-12pm:

• Lee Morrison (PhD Candidate, History): “Knowing thy neighbor: A network approach to neighborhood social structures in medieval Italy.”

All sessions will take place at the Olin Library, Instruction Room 1, on Level A. If you are interested in attending, please fill out this interest form. Sign-up emails will be circulated in advance of each meeting to get an accurate headcount for lunch. Feel free to contact Claudia Carroll (claudiac@wustl.edu) with any questions.
