HISTORICAL PRIVACY AND COMPUTATIONAL METHODS

Privacy and technology are often considered intertwined issues – across time, as technology develops, it challenges or consolidates the need for privacy in society. This project tackles both contemporary issues of privacy in our digital landscape and how computational methods can impact historical research on privacy. Here, we aim to provide a bridge between history and computer science to understand how both disciplines can help one another in their disciplinary challenges.
