Data Mining, Digital Humanities, and Children's Literature: Rebekah Fitzsimmons

Data Mining, Digital Humanities, & Children's Lit. - R. Fitzsimmons

Please join the Center for Children's Books to hear iSchool Research Fellow Rebekah Fitzsimmons discuss her work in data mining, digital humanities, and children's literature.

Rebekah Fitzsimmons is an assistant teaching professor at Carnegie Mellon University. Her current book project, A Woman’s Place: Expertise, Canon Formation, and the Professionalization of Children’s Literature, traces the development of children’s librarianship, children’s publishing, teaching, and children’s literature scholarship from the 1880s to the present day. Her current digital humanities project uses stylometrics, network analysis, and data visualizations to examine canon formation in children’s literature.

This will be a hybrid event. Register here to attend online.
