PhD Supervision Interests

We are interested in PhD proposals from anyone with an interest in using computing for research in any discipline across the humanities. Personally I have a particular interest in using GIS to research history, demography, English or related areas.

Any area associated with Digital Humanities (or Humanities Computing) but in particular the use of GIS in history or another humanities discipline.

Current Teaching

  • Hist426 - Digital approaches to the Humanities
  • FASS525 - Geographical Information Systems in the Humanities and Social Sciences
