WWP The Texts Teaching and Research Research Projects

Research with Women Writers Online

Whether its techniques and questions are familiar or radically new, online research is opening up important avenues for scholarship in the humanities. The Women Writers Project encourages all kinds of research with online collections: those that explore new materials and methods, those that bring traditional techniques to the online medium, and those that raise questions the current tools are still unable to address.

This small but growing collection of research projects represents some of the work currently being done with the WWP collection, both through Women Writers Online and through direct analysis of the encoded data. These projects include conference papers and sessions, plans for research currently under way, and reports on completed studies. These materials have been generously provided by their creators, and are presented here for the benefit of other readers. The strategies and opinions represented here are those of their creators, not of the Women Writers Project.
