Milan Terlunen, the Engaged Humanities Postdoctoral Fellow at AGHI/the Tabb Center, will give a talk on his project "The Writers We Keep Quoting: Repurposing Plagiarism Detection to Historicize the Humanities Disciplines."

This work adapts plagiarism detection methods to investigate the history of humanities disciplines. By computationally detecting quotations from a range of literary and theoretical texts across millions of academic journal articles, he investigates how certain key passages have enabled not only the consolidation of disciplines and fields, but also interdisciplinary communication.

Feel free to bring your lunch or join us online for this hybrid event.

Location: Mergenthaler 429 (AGHI Common Room) or Zoom
