Antonio Rojas Castro

Hello!

I have a PhD in Humanities from the Universitat Pompeu Fabra (Barcelona, Spain) with a thesis on digital editing; during my PhD (2011-2015), I collated manually twenty witnesses of Luis de Góngora's Solitudes, and encoded a critical text, that I published online using Edition Visualization Technology (EVT).

From 2016 to 2019 I worked at the Cologne Center for eHumanities (CCeH) at the Universität zu Köln (Germany); I mostly focused on modeling, processing and curating letters and bibliographic references related to Albrecht von Haller---now published online on HallerNet.

Since 2019 I am working at the Academy of Sciences and Humanities in Berlin-Brandenburg as a Digital Humanities researcher for Proyecto Humboldt Digital. In my role, I have developed the Dossier Digital: Alexander von Humbold and Cuba.

Additionally, I am also a Part-Time Lecturer at Universidad Internacional de la Rioja (MA in Digital Humanities). I am currently teaching a course on digital scholarly editing and supervising MA dissertations on Digital Humanities.

Apart from teaching and doing research, I am also interested in building a diverse and open academic community. For this reason, I have voluntereed in several organizations: the European Association for Digital Humanities (2015-2018), The Programming Historian en español (2016-2020), and the Asociación de Humanidades Digitales Hispánicas (2021-2023).
