I am the Principal Investigator of ​Time, Technology, and Globalization. A study of the role of technology in processes of modernization and globalization using the Press, Big Data, and Computational Research Methodologies (GLOTECH)

Time, Technology, and Globalization. A study of the role of technology in processes of modernization and globalization using the Press, Big Data, and Computational Research Methodologies (GLOTECH), will explore the role of technology as a factor of time standardizations in Western, industrialized societies, as well as a booster of cultural homogenization, and as a consequence, an agent of modernization and globalization. The object of analysis will be a multilingual dataset of newspapers. The selected time frame will be 1840-2019, and the methodology will include different computational research methods. GLOTECH is a highly innovative research project that will push the state of the art in Digital Humanities and Computational Social Sciences. It will as well propose computational methodologies that other researchers interested about information behaviour historically can adapt to their own research agendas, therefore being of high value for the research community.
