Subject: [DHSI] Virtual Talk: MapLemon–Representing Diverse Identities in
Data, with Teddy Manning (14 Feb)
To: institute@lists.uvic.ca <institute@lists.uvic.ca>

Dear friends,

Please join us next week in celebrating International Love Data Week with
our virtual keynote featuring Teddy Manning from CUNY Graduate School. Hän will
present on hänet project, MapLemon, on Wednesday, 14 February at 10am
Mountain / 12noon Eastern / 5pm UTC. You can register for the zoom here:
https://colorado.libcal.com/calendar/events/maplemon

*Abstract:* MapLemon is a naturally elicited digital writing corpus most
well known for its inclusion of transgender and nonbinary identities in
data collection, resulting in groundbreaking discoveries about the
possibility of a transgender accent, and furthermore suggesting that
transgender and nonbinary people write most similarly to their gender as
opposed to their sex assigned at birth. MapLemon was created with
demographic diversity in mind—not just with gender, but also with respect
to race, ethnicity, homeland, etcetera. This talk will discuss how we can,
as researchers, create surveys like MapLemon’s which result in these
important discoveries, representing diverse identities in data, and
ultimately forwarding inclusivity in data.

*Bio*: Theodore (Teddy) Manning (pronouns: hän/hänet/hänen) is a Linguist
and Master’s student in Digital Humanities at the City University of New
York Graduate Center. Hänet work focuses on quantitative sociolingusitics
and corpus creation/analysis, as well as stylometry. Hän is most well known
for hänet creation of the MapLemon corpus, a corpus of naturally elicited
digital writing in North American English which includes 121 (and counting)
responses from transgender and nonbinary people, making it the first corpus
of its kind. In hänet spare time, hän writes fanfiction and plays
Minecraft, and has a visceral hatred of dark chocolate.
