We're opening the Price Lab's podcast vault to release an episode with former Mellon Graduate Fellow, Florian Breitkopf, in conversation with Prof. Hilde De Weerdt (Chinese History, University of Leiden). They discuss Prof. De Weerdt's path to Chinese studies, the presence of the digital humanities in European academia, and how working with digital methodologies can help scholars collaborate across disciplinary, geographical, and oral boundaries.

In this episode, Price Lab's Andrew W. Mellon Research Fellow, Whitney Trettien(Assistant Professor of English, University of Pennsylvania), is joined in conversation by Kathleen Fitzpatrick (Director of Digital Humanities; Professor of English, Michigan State University). Fitzpatrick and Trettien discuss the opportunities of digital publishing, as well as the importance of higher education, and the status of optimism in decidedly pessimistic times. Fitzpatrick is author of Generous Thinking: A Radical Approach to Saving the University, published by Johns Hopkins University Press in February 2019. She is also author of Planned Obsolescence: Publishing, Technology, and the Future of the Academy, which was published by NYU Press in November 2011.

The Price Lab podcast is back for a second season! Our first guest, Sylvester A. Johnson (Director of the Virginia Tech Center for Humanities), is a nationally recognized humanities scholar specializing in the study of race, technology, and religion. Johnson joined Price Lab's Managing Director, Stewart Varner, to discuss his work in the digital humanities and the importance of fostering the humanities in STEM education. Their discussion was fascinating and nearly impossible to edit down to our usual episode length, so we are sharing it in two-parts.

In the final episode of the Dream Lab series, we're joined by Dr. Clayton Colmon, the Associate Director of Instructional Design for Penn Arts & Sciences Online Learning. He talks about his personal connection to Afrofuturism and its many applications to pedagogy.

This year, Price Lab's week-long digital humanities training institute Dream Lab was canceled due to safety concerns around COVID-19. We created this series of podcasts not as a replacement, but rather to introduce you to some of the people who make Dream Lab such a great experience! Freely available tools and excellent tutorials have made it easier to apply computational text analysis techniques, but researchers may still find themselves struggling to figure out how to harness these methods in their own work. Listen in as Scott Enderle describes his “conversion” to the digital humanities and how many humanists are closer than they think to being able to incorporate text analysis in their research.
