Multilingual Digital Humanities at Stanford: A Panel

Join CESTA for a panel discussion on Multilingual Digital Humanities at Stanford, bringing together graduate students and faculty to explore how multilingual research is shaping the field of digital humanities. Panelists will share how they work across multiple historical and contemporary languages in their digital projects, addressing the challenges and opportunities of multilingual data practices. The conversation will also critically engage with the anglocentrism of existing digital tools and infrastructures, and consider how multilingual approaches are transforming interdisciplinary research more broadly. The panelists include scholars and students working on German, Russian, French, Arabic, Ottoman Turkish, Ukrainian, Indigenous South African languages, Italian, Latin, and many more languages.

Participants are warmly encouraged to bring their own research projects and questions to the discussion, whether in development or ongoing, for an open exchange of ideas and feedback.

This event is part of the “Global Approaches to Multilingual Data Practices and Digital Humanities” workshop series, supported by the Global Research Workshops program at Stanford Global Studies. 

Panelists: Professor Grant Parker (African and African American Studies, and Classics), Ali Karakaya (Slavic Languages and Literatures), Mustafa Günaydı (History), Chloé Brault (Comparative Literature), and Yuanhao Zou (History).

Introductions by Merve Tekgürler (History, and Symbolic Systems). Response and moderation by Professor Giovanna Ceserani (Classics) and Professor Nora Barakat (History).
