Fitzpatrick is author of Generous Thinking: A Radical Approach to Saving the University, published by Johns Hopkins University Press in February 2019.

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.

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.
