Professor Glenn Roe

Glenn Roe is Professor of Digital Scholarship and French Literature and a Fellow of Jesus College at the University of Oxford. His research explores the intersection of French literature, the European Enlightenment and its aftermath, and the digital humanities, with particular emphasis on large-scale intertextuality, computational literary history, and the history of ideas. He is Principal Investigator of the ERC Consolidator Grant ModERN (Modelling Enlightenment: Reassembling Networks of Modernity through data-driven research), based at the École normale supérieure in Paris (ITEM, UMR 8132 CNRS).

Before returning to Oxford, Glenn was Professor of French Literature and Digital Humanities at Sorbonne University, where he directed the Observatory of Texts, Ideas, and Corpora (ObTIC) project team and was member of the CELLF Laboratory (UMR 8599). Glenn previously held positions as Senior Lecturer in Digital Humanities at the Australian National University, Mellon Post-doctoral Fellow in Digital Humanities at Oxford (Faculty of Medieval and Modern Languages and the Oxford e-Research Centre), and Research Fellow at Wolfson College and the Voltaire Foundation. He received my PhD with honours in French literature from the University of Chicago in 2010.
