Bridget Moynihan, University of Edinburgh

Bridget completed her PhD in early 2020, studying the twentieth-century scrapbooks and poetry of Scots Makar Edwin Morgan (1920-2010) at the University of Edinburgh. Her approach combines close readings with research through design practices in order to engage the material, technological, and socio-political elements of the scrapbooks and to connect the scrapbooks to Morgan's broader literary corpus. She also collaborates on the Stuff of Science Fiction project at the University of Calgary. Her articles have appeared in Digital Scholarship in the Humanities, Digital Humanities Quarterly, Digital Studies/le Champ Numérique, and IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics, among others. For a complete list of Bridget’s contributions, see https://bmoynihansite.wordpress.com.

Jonathan Armoza, NYU

Jonathan is a Doctoral Fellow in the English department at New York University where he works on the development and critique of computational methods for literary study. Jonathan’s past projects include the application of topic models and other probabilistic models to study nineteenth-century American literature, most notably the works of the poet Emily Dickinson. His visualisation environment Topic Words in Context, first developed for his Master’s thesis on Dickinson’s fascicle books, allows researchers to spatially explore their topic models via a web browser. In addition to language and literary studies, Jonathan also has a background in Computer Science and a career that spans software engineering, game development, and data science. He is currently a member of Simexp Lab in Montréal, where he works on language modeling and data visualization design for Neuroscience research. More of Jonathan’s projects and tools can be found on his Github page.
