Wilder, Colin F

Associate Professor

I am the associate director of the Center for Digital Humanities at USC. There I design and supervise digital humanities projects. I frequently collaborate with faculty in the humanities departments, computer science and library and information science. As a historian by training, my own interest is especially on using text analysis and network analysis to reground intellectual history, with a particular focus on the history of concepts of freedom, equality and property in European history.
