Subject: Gale Scholar Asia Pacific, Digital Humanities Oxford Fellowship, 2022 Update
Gale Scholar Asia Pacific, Digital Humanities Oxford Fellowship
2022 Update
To increase access to digital humanities (DH) tools and support emerging
research and collaboration amongst scholars, Gale, part of Cengage
Group, and Bodleian Libraries at the University of Oxford, launched
the Gale Scholar Asia Pacific, Digital Humanities Oxford Fellowships in
2019 for the Oxford 2020-2021 academic year.
Gale funds the research of two scholars for a three-month period
selected from the Asia-Pacific region. The fellowship seeks to support
the scholars’ research into a DH-related topic at the University of
Oxford, using the Centre for Digital Scholarship of the Bodleian
Libraries. To help foster emerging scholarship in the Asia-Pacific
region, the fellows have access to the Bodleian Libraries’ resources
including Gale Primary Sources as well as the Gale Digital Scholar
Lab which provides fellows with invaluable text and data mining tools to
advance their work through DH methods.
The first intake of Gale Scholar Asia Pacific, Digital Humanities
Oxford Fellows have recently completed their fellowship over the last
few months during the British Summer. Watch the video below as we chat
with Australian Fellow, Dr. Mark Byron, about his experiences during
his time at Oxford University, the Centre for Digital Scholarship and
the Bodleian Libraries.

Announcing the Second Year Fellowship Recipients
We would like to congratulate local Australian academic, Dr. Terhi
Nurmikko-Fuller, Australian National University and Dr. Xiurong
Zhao, Renmin University of China, on being awarded the fellowships in
the second year of the program during the Oxford 2022-2023 academic year.
Dr. Terhi Nurmikko-Fuller, Australian National University, Australia
Project: Transnational Liberalism: A Linked Data Case Study of
Australian Political History will leverage data sets to answer questions
about the political landscape in colonial Australia, the wider
Asia-Pacific region, and the British world more generally during the
mid- to late-1800’s. The project provides comprehensive insight into the
origins of the Liberal party, which has dominated the national
government of Australia for 62 years (since WWII) and shaped the
Asia-Pacific region for decades.
Dr. Xiurong Zhao, Renmin University of China, China
Project: The Use of GIS to Map Infectious Diseases in Victorian
England seeks to find new answers about the causes of infectious
diseases and their spread, and the social impacts of these diseases. By
using tools from Gale Digital Scholar Lab, the project will utilize new
research methods to produce disease maps to support new information and
resources that are easily accessible to the public.
