SUMMARY:CONFÉRENCE: Natalie Houston (University of Massachussets Lowell)\,
  "Creating an Anthology Corpus: What\, How\, and Why"
DESCRIPTION:Natalie M. Houston is an Associate Professor of English at the
  University of Massachusetts Lowell\, where she teaches digital humaniti
 es and literary theory. Her research uses computational methods to expl
 ore the cultural function of poetry within Victorian print culture. Her 
 current book project\, Distant Reading Nineteenth-Century Poetry\, appli
 es machine learning to uncover the stylistic conventions that structured
  the market for poetry in the nineteenth century. She is also a Co-Dire
 ctor and Technical Director for the Periodical Poetry Index\, a bibliog
 raphic research database for poems published in nineteenth-century perio
 dicals. Her research has been published in recent collections such as Pl
 otting Poetry: on Mechanically-Enhanced Reading (2021)\, The Cambridge 
 Companion to Victorian Women’s Poetry (2019)\, Research Methods for 
 Reading Digital Data in the Digital Humanities (2016)\, and Virtual Vi
 ctorians: Networks\, Connections\, Technologies (2015) as well as in jo
 urnals such as Victorian Studies\, Victorian Poetry\, and Victorian R
 eview.    Should you wish to have a little bit of context before listenin
 g to Natalie Houston\, you might want to read her article on "Anthologies
  and the Making of the Poetic Canon » (volume attached\, p. 361)\, which 
 requires no prior understanding of computational methods\, as it predates
  her use of digital humanities approaches.
