Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChristopher Ohge is a Senior Lecturer in Digital Approaches to Literature at the School of Advanced Study, University of London, combining eight years of academic and digital humanities experience across textual editing, book history, and nineteenth- and twentieth-century literature. He directs and contributes to major digital scholarly projects—associate director of the Melville Electronic Library, associate editor for Melville's Marginalia Online, and UK co-lead on the AHRC/DFG-funded StoryMachine—bringing rigorous editorial practice to digital publishing and XML-based editions. His recent NEH–Mellon fellowship produced a digital edition of the anti-slavery anthology The Bow in the Cloud, exemplifying his interest in socially engaged scholarship and collaborative digital curation. Fluent in R-driven data-science approaches to literature, he also experiments with AI, network analysis, and graph databases to surface literary patterns that traditional methods miss. Based in London, he bridges deep philological knowledge with practical technical skills to make rare and marginal texts accessible and analyzable at scale.
