This month Dr. Braxton Boyer joined CENES as a Postdoctoral Fellow on the “Computational Dostoevsky” project.
The SSHRC-funded project, previously funded as “Digital Dostoevsky,” led by Dr. Kate Holland, and based at the University of Toronto, has now moved to UBC under the leadership of Dr. Katherine Bowers. “Computational Dostoevsky” seeks to publish a TEI (Text Encoding Initiative) edition of Dostoevsky’s major novels as well as to conduct original research on its encoded files. Dr. Boyer will be taking the lead on data management for the project while he is in residence at UBC.
Dr. Boyer received his PhD from the University of Toronto in Slavic Languages and Literatures in December 2025. His dissertation considered anarchism in the context of Lev Tolstoy’s publishing house, The Intermediary, from 1885-1890.
