On Thursday 27 March 2025, TRIFECTA PhD Candidate Jiaqi presented a paper at the ESSHC (European Social Science History Conference) in Leiden, the Netherlands.
This is Jiaqi’s first time at this conference. She is excited to present her work to this community mainly consists of historians and gets to know them and their work. Jiaqi learnt a lot from many fascinating presentations and also had nice interactions from the audience who attended her presentation. One of the impressive questions she got from the audience is how does she see her digital/computational perspective when it comes to historical research. She replied with highlighting the huge advantage of using computational methods/tools as they allow us to deal with archives in a large-scale way and see the general trends in historical data very quickly, the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration between historians, computer scientist, and data manager in a Digital Humanities project. Jiaqi expresses her interests in combining data-driven explorations and zoomed-in case studies to make computational and qualitative angles meet.
