After giving the 2021 Annual Fales Lecture on Wednesday 4/7, Professor Alexandra Gillespie will host a workshop for graduate students in the English Department on Friday 4/9. Please email rap511@nyu.edu to receive a link and preparatory reading materials.
The workshop will be about the Old Books New Science Lab (OBNS), which is directed by Alexandra Gillespie and based at the Mississauga and St George campuses of the University of Toronto. The OBNS Lab brings together undergraduate research assistants, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and scholars with interests in new scientific and global approaches to medieval book history; digital text editing and computational approaches to humanities research; and medieval literary studies––especially work on form, affect, and historical phenomenology.
