Guest lecture at University of Antwerp, "Pushing Beyond the Numbers: Researching Chinese students in Belgium (1900-1950) with Digital Aided Methods"

At the invitation of Eline Ceulemans, I gave an online lecture to bachelor students of history at the University of Antwerp on November 21, 2023. The presentation introduced the usage of data and digital methods in historical research. Using my preliminary research on the Chinese students in Belgium (1900-1950) as an example, we iterated over the different steps of the process, from envisioning how to organise data to analysis, and lined out the different questions, limitations and challenges.
