A group of researchers at UT Austin - in the Humanities and Advanced Computing areas - is seeking partners in Canada and the UK interested in applying to the Digging into Data Challenge, an international grant co-funded by the research agencies you may read on the subject.

Announcement of the grant here

Deadlines

Letter of intent - March 15

Final application(application form not yet available ) - July 15.

Our interests revolve around the topic of Holy War. We will use a number of databases (JSTOR being one of them) that we will query using a number of text mining processes. Depending on the specific interest of your institution we may look at the same databases and use different processes or look other aspects of “war”- Cold War, colonial wars, etc.

If interested please comment this post or email  anaventura@mail.utexas.edu or Dr. Geraldine Heng at heng@mail.utexas.edu

Thank you
