The Price Lab podcast is back for a second season! Our first guest, Sylvester A. Johnson (Director of the Virginia Tech Center for Humanities), is a nationally recognized humanities scholar specializing in the study of race, technology, and religion. Johnson joined Price Lab's Managing Director, Stewart Varner, to discuss his work in the digital humanities and the importance of fostering the humanities in STEM education. Their discussion was fascinating and nearly impossible to edit down to our usual episode length, so we are sharing it in two-parts.

This year, Price Lab's week-long digital humanities training institute Dream Lab was canceled due to safety concerns around COVID-19. We created this series of podcasts not as a replacement, but rather to introduce you to some of the people who make Dream Lab such a great experience! Freely available tools and excellent tutorials have made it easier to apply computational text analysis techniques, but researchers may still find themselves struggling to figure out how to harness these methods in their own work. Listen in as Scott Enderle describes his “conversion” to the digital humanities and how many humanists are closer than they think to being able to incorporate text analysis in their research.

Programming is notoriously goal-oriented: if there is a problem you work to solve it. Creative coding is different. Rather than look for a solution, creative coding asks, what happens if coding is a tool to explore and play. In this episode, Dr. Mark Sample discusses his approach to creative coding. Hint- it includes twitter bots and Walt Whitman! This episode was produced and edited by Maria Kiamesso DaSilva with assistance from Sarah Milinski.

We’re all familiar with tidying up our living spaces, but how can data be tidied up? Matt Lincoln is a research software engineer and Digital Humanities developer at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. His class, Tidy Data focuses on combating data anxiety in the humanities by teaching humanists how to handle complex relationships and uncertainty in data, and format their information tidily so it that can be reshaped to drive databases, websites, analyses, and visualizations.
