Speaker Biography<\/h3>

Lorna M. Hughes has been Professor in Digital Humanities at the University of Glasgow since 2015. From 2016 to 2019, she oversaw the redevelopment of the Information Studies subject area (previously HATII, the Humanities Advanced Technology and Information Institute.) The re-launch was marked by an international symposium at the University of Glasgow in 2017.<\/p>\n

Hughes studied at the University of Glasgow, where she completed a MPhil in History and Computing. Her Master’s research on the structure and contingencies of data in 17th century Scottish landholding charters was used in the first edition of the TEI Guidelines in 1990.<\/p>\n

Hughes’ research addresses the creation of digital cultural heritage, and the use and re-use of digital collections for research, teaching, and public engagement. She has a specific interest in the conceptualisation, development, implementation and categorisation of digital methods in the humanities, and the collaborations between the humanities and scientific disciplines that drive this agenda.<\/p>
