Dr. Shawn Graham trained in Roman archaeology but has become over the years a digital archaeologist and digital humanist. In 2016 he won a Provost’s Fellowship in Teaching Award and was designated a Carleton University Teaching Fellow. He recently won a SSHRC Insight Grant for a project called ‘The Bone Trade: Studying the Online Trade in Human Remains with Machine Learning and Neural Networks’. Graham is part of the multi-institution SSHRC Partnership Grant funded project, ‘CRANE: Computational Research in the Ancient Near East’ led by Tim Harrison of the University of Toronto, and he is also a member of the SSHRC Insight Development Grant funded project, ‘Nanohistory‘, led by Dr. Matt Milner of Memorial University, exploring graph-theoretic representations of historical events. His most recent book, Failing Gloriously, documents his work through the digital humanities and digital archaeology against the backdrop of the 21st-century university. And in 2019, he won the Archaeological Institute of America Award for Outstanding Work in Digital Archaeology for the Open Digital Archaeology Textbook Environment.
