Lab Director Mark Algee-Hewitt interviewed here about teaching computational methods for quantitative textual analysis: edsurge.com/news/2018-09-2…

I worry about the disturbing parallel between some Literary scholars denying the reality or accuracy of quantitative textual models and coal company owners denying the reality or accuracy of climate change

It’s not so much the reactionary nature of the response (LitCrit has always had a conservative streak) but more what it says about the health of the industry

It’s the similarity that I can’t get over: the environment/literature is too ineffable or complex to be adequately captured by quantitative models

#ASECSat50 #142 — Saturday 8 AM: big projects! Little projects! Devoney Looser ! Mark Algee-Hewitt ! @mandellc ! Omar F. Miranda ! 祖思薪🔥🐍 Eugenia Zuroski ! Meta Twitter! And me, very clearly the Least Chill Person on this panel!

My final response to the Critical Inquiry/CLS “debate”. @laurenfklein goes high to draw more voices into the conversation critinq.wordpress.com/2019/04/03/com… while I go low (to self-citation and numbers are meaningful too - sigh) critinq.wordpress.com/2019/04/03/com…

Several Lab members have begun working on the language of coronavirus news, the personification of germs, and literature about confinement/solitude. See Matthew Warner on Techne for the preliminary write-up: litlab.stanford.edu/writing-about-…

We're so thrilled to see this write-up of Charlotte Lindemann's amazing STAR TEXTS project in Harper's Magazine Italy: harpersbazaar.com/it/cultura/cin…

Excited to finally see the results of the Lab's Identity project released! Many thanks to @jdporterlive and @hkpmw and all of the other Literary Lab members who have helped us along the way!

Mark Algee-Hewitt, kgmt, & I are thrilled to present TherapyTexts (our Literary Lab project with @LisaMendelman) @ #dhsi21! We train a model to see where c20 literature looks like therapy sessions.

(1/5) Thanks, Arun Jacob, @EditrixCaroline & #DHSIConf! TherapyTexts combines computational text analysis, literary studies, & clinical psychology methods to compare the discourse of contemporary clinical psychotherapy sessions to other kinds of (particularly literary) texts.

#LitMapDigitalAge has an essay by me, Mark Algee-Hewitt, Annalise Lockhart, Van Tran, Erik Steiner: "Mapping the Emotions of London in Fiction, 1700-1900"

The "stylometry mafia's" post-DH2016 mini-conference has started at a mountain villa in Zabnica.

Now the stylometrists will eat roast pig!

@corinakoolen Bravo! Mystery solved! And yet the explanation for why still eludes me...
