Introducing our Winter 2021 Interns

By
Alix Keener

Introducing our Winter 2021 Interns, a virtual community of digital humanities researchers.

Every quarter the Center for Textual and Spatial Analysis is animated by Stanford undergraduate research interns. These students contribute to faculty projects while acquiring new skills that are consolidated in workshops and activities designed for the internship program. During the pandemic, all of this work is being done remotely: interns are advancing digital humanities research and creating a unique community of researchers from their homes. You can read below about this cohort of interns and their work. Their efforts are being sustained by a graduate mentor, Rachel Dubit, a PhD student in Classics.

We’re grateful to the many campus partners who support our research and programs, including colleagues at Stanford University Libraries and the Stanford Humanities Center. The Winter 2021 undergraduate research intern cohort receives generous support from a VPUE Departmental Grant, H&S Humanities Research Intensive Fellowships, and Tinker Award funds.
