Chair

Dr Lindsey Davidson

Abstract

This talk offers reflections on the last decade of work within a number of international interdisciplinary research projects that have experimented with using a variety of digital humanities methods to research the Holocaust. As well as exploring what new knowledge distant reading and digital mapping methods might reveal, the talk critically reflects on the ethics of applying digital methods to Holocaust and Jewish studies.

The talk will be followed by a Q&A and a small reception of drinks and nibbles. 

All are welcome!
