Dr Katherine Bowers and PhD Candidate Braden Russell are part of a team alongside colleagues and students in English and FHIS who have been granted a large Award in the PhD CoLab Program that Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies is piloting this year.
Their project, “The Adaptive Text Encoding Initiative Network: Antiracist, Decolonial, and Inclusive Markup Interventions,” seeks to collaborate on the creation of a TEI schema as well as support the development of Digital Humanities infrastructures for graduate students at UBC-V. Out of 60 applicants where 5 were funded, this team is the only Humanities award in the PhD Colab Pilot.
In fall 2024, Dr Bowers will be teaching a “Special Topics” graduate course in CENES, GMST 531D, on “Multilingual Digital Humanities,” which will place particular emphasis on computational text analysis and text encoding using TEI. Interested graduate students from all Arts language and literature departments are welcome to enroll and learn more about incorporating Digital Humanities methods in their research.
