On the DeiC Interactive HPC website, you can read an interview with Ph.d. student at the Department of Global Studies (Aarhus University), Phillip Stenmann Baun. Phillip Stenmann Baun shares his experiences with combining digital methods with traditional hermeneutic approaches for his Ph.d. project, “Reject degeneracy; Remember tradition!” A Study of Far-Right Digital Memory Practices.

How do I manage to operationalize concepts such as ‘memory’, ‘culture’, or ‘identity’ into something that a machine can read? I find such questions extremely interesting, because it is precisely here that the role of historians and others within the humanities really becomes relevant; it is in fact the humanities who need to both ask and answer these questions in order to actually understand and interpret the empirical material. 

– Philip Stenmann Baun, Aarhus University
