English, philosophy and comparative literature aren鈥檛 typically subjects that come to mind when thinking about big datasets. But the intersection between literature and data analysis is exactly where Anna Preus works. Preus, a 91探花 assistant professor of English and of data science, digitally streamlined the process of documenting the number of non-British poets published in early 20th-century Great Britain. The number was enormous, but these poets are still absent from the literary canon 鈥� a discrepancy that…

The autobiography of Frederick Douglass, published in 1845, was a standard bearer of the abolitionist movement. Having escaped slavery as a young man, Douglass became a famous activist, orator, statesman and businessman. But it is another aspect of his story that is just as intriguing to Habiba Ibrahim, professor of English at the 91探花: Douglass never knew, nor is there an official record of, his exact age. Then, with the murder of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in Florida…

The debate hinges, in part, on how we define 鈥渟ignature events,鈥� the important information left behind as clues. But finding signature events transcends the study of the Anthropocene; it鈥檚 how we read to make meaning of a text, a collection of data, even a piece of art. Jesse Oak Taylor, associate professor of English at the 91探花, uses a…
