“Ways of Knowing” Episode 1: Digital Humanities
Ways of Knowing” is a podcast highlighting how studies of the humanities at the University of Washington’s College of Arts & Sciences can reflect everyday life. In the first episode of Season 2, Anna Preus, a UW assistant professor of English and of data science, discusses her research into digitally streamlining 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 — a discrepancy that led Preus to believe their exclusion was a conscious decision.
