To kick off our 2017-18 Comp Lit Colloquium series, and to initiate discussion about the diversification of skills and careers for doctoral students in Comparative Literature, we have invited two of our Phd alums to describe how they have extended their doctoral research into digital humanities. Please join us for an informal discussion with:

Meredith Martin, Associate Professor at Princeton University, and author of The Rise and Fall of Meter: Poetry and English National Culture, 1860-1930. She is interested in using digital tools to explore new analytical questions in the study of poetry. She is the Faculty Director of the Center for Digital Humanities at Princeton and has been building the online database for the Princeton Prosody Archive.

Sayan Bhattacharyya, Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow at the Price Lab for Digital Humanities at the University of Pennsylvania. He is interested in the intersection of digital humanities with postcolonial theory and criticism. His ongoing projects include pedagogy using digitized textual sources in multilingual contests, and understanding race, class, and the colonial encounter through computational methods.
