Reid contends that AI […]

My focus is oriented more toward resources for digital publication and teaching. I will highlight a select few sites with great resources for […]
In a previous post I briefly presented some of the richest and most commonly used online resources for Korean Studies. There I suggested that despite the plethora of premodern textual material that is freely available online, it remained to be seen what kind of digital humanities work scholars of Korea would be able to produce.
