This year’s virtual MLA Convention featured a Digital Project Showcase, where several scholars presented work that is ongoing or just getting started. We’re very pleased to share the slides that were shown in that panel, introducing the projects in question.
The showcase featured projects from Kendra Leonard (SHEAF: Shakespeare in Early Film), Grant Glass (An Adaptive Methodology: Using Machine Learning to Identify Adaptations), Benoit Berthelier (Detecting clichés and stock characters in North Korean fiction), Illya Nokhrin (eREED: Records of Early English Drama), Lorena Gauthereau (US Latino Digital Humanities), John Misak (Perchance to Learn: leveraging video games and mixed reality to teach literature), Lisa Rhody (Digital Humanities Research Institute), Annie Galvin (Public Books 101), and Graham Jensen (Canadian Modernist Magazines Project). Many thanks to all of them for joining us to discuss their work!
