Modelling Between Digital and Humanities: Thinking in Practice

October 2017—April 2018

My second postdoctoral appointment was the Volkswagen-funded project, "Modelling Between Digital and Humanities: Thinking in Practice", based at King's Digital Lab, King's College London. I applied corpus linguistic methodologies to analyse academic journal articles in the humanities to investigate how these disciplines make use of modelling and modelling processes, and to identify how these uses converge and diverge. We were interested not only in how the digital humanities' use of modelling functions as a way to foster interdisciplinarity, but also how modelling creates such spaces within the broader field of the humanities. Another area of interest was how modelling in the humanities is informed by the insights generated through "trading zones" created by disciplines in the humanities.
