Zoe Bartliff is a Research Assistant working on the Legacies of Stephen Dwoskin Project. She is based at the University of Glasgow and her primary research interests fall within the broad remit of Digital Humanities and, specifically, with the interaction between textual data and contextual culture.
She has a first class MA (Hons) degree in Classical and Celtic studies, specialising in the analyses of mytho-histories and in the evolutions of the Welsh and Latin language. These interests led naturally into her PhD thesis topic: an investigation into the efficacy of computer based methodologies for the analysis of the Medieval Welsh law texts Cyfraith Hywel. Having completed her PhD, she has broadened her early interests by incorporating Digital Humanities research methodologies and specifically how these methodologies can be combined to access, process and analyse textual data.
Her role within the project is concerned with the extraction and analysis of data. As a part of the Digital Forensics and Data Exploration branch of the project she has employed digital forensics tools and combined these with data exploration techniques. She works closely with the Archive team in Reading to enhance access to the digital archival record through the use of these methodologies. Similarly, she has been working with the other branches of the project to fold in Digital Humanities methodologies with theoretical and historical approaches.
She has also been working on the AHRC and Irish Research Council funded IIIF4Research network project, working to deliver project workshops and conducting data analysis on the project survey. She will help deliver the end of project and survey reports.
