Humanities and social science research are often ignored in allocating digital research infrastructure – they shouldn’t be
At the University of Newcastle researchers are working on software for a “time-layered cultural map.” It links time and location based data sets and archival records and makes them searchable to identity patterns and records not combined. One project takes data from the Longitudinal Study of Women’s Health to create maps and times of domestic violence reports.
The university’s Centre for 21st Century Humanities is partnering with consultants and the universities of Melbourne, Sydney and South Australia, plus Curtin U, Edith Cowan U and UTS. The TLCM launches in a year.
