Lauren Klein is an American academic who works at Emory University, where she also directs the Digital Humanities Lab. Klein is best known for her work in digital humanities[1] and her book, Data Feminism, co-authored with Catherine D’Ignazio.[2][3]
Early life and education
Klein studied literature and computer science at Harvard University.[4] Before returning to graduate school, she worked as a software developer and bike messenger.[5] She received her Ph.D. in English and American Studies from the Graduate Center, CUNY in 2011.[6]
Career and research
Klein joined the School of Literature, Media, and Communication at the Georgia Institute of Technology as an assistant professor, where she taught in the Computational Media program.[7] She also founded the Digital Humanities Lab there.[8] Her lab’s work on the Shape of History project brought new attention to the forgotten data visualization scheme created by Elizabeth Palmer Peabody in the nineteenth century.[9][10] In 2017, she was named one of the “rising stars of digital humanities” by Inside Higher Ed. [11]
Klein’s research, which combines quantitative methods and archival research, proposes a way to “integrate race, gender, and postcolonial theory with computer learning to develop methodologies for performing research in bias-laden archives.”[12] She is the author of An Archive of Taste: Race and Eating in the Early United States, which was published by the University of Minnesota Press.[13][14] She is the co-author, with Catherine D’Ignazio, of Data Feminism, which was published MIT Press. Data Feminism was named a “must-read” book by WIRED Magazine and a 2020 ACRL Choice Outstanding Academic Title.[15][16][17] Klein is also co-editor, with Matthew K. Gold, of the Debates in the Digital Humanities book series, a “digital humanities bellwether” which offers a “ hybrid model for open-access texts to be published in both experimental online spaces and traditional print forms.”[18][19]
In 2019, Klein joined Emory University as an associate professor of English and Quantitative Theory and Methods.[20]
