Seminar
The seminar will involve a discussion with Jo Guldi about her work on historical methods for climate change research, drawing on her Isis article ‘The Climate Emergency Demands a New Kind of History’ (2022), early findings from her project ‘Text Mining the Discourse of Climate Change’, and parts of her book ‘The Dangerous Art of Text Mining’ (2023).
Speaker
"Because we all live in an era of climate change, I mostly think in terms of the history of land and water: who got evicted; who controlled the water; how land was mapped, owned, connected, and used, and what stories we tell about those displacements that have shaped the world that came after. I am also a scholar of history who uses machine learning, statistics, and other big-data methods to approach the traditional concerns of the humanities." Jo Guldi is Full Professor of Quantitative Methods at Emory University.
