Jana Keck is a research fellow and coordinator of the research area Digital History at the German Historical Institute Washington DC (GHI). She studied English and American studies and linguistics at the University of Stuttgart. Before joining the GHI, she was working in the research project “Oceanic Exchanges: Tracing Global Information Networks in Historical Newspaper Repositories, 1840-1914” which boasted a team of scholars in computational periodical studies from seven countries in Europe and the Americas to examine transcontinental news circulation in C19 newspapers. In her PhD-project “Text Mining America’s German-Language Newspapers, 1830-1914: Processing Germanness,” she investigates viral texts and genres in America’s C19 German-language press to study how sexist, racist, and nationalistic ideas spread across states and decades.
