For “Contingent” magazine I discussed the career of Lillian McCue, who wrote as Lillian de la Torre.

At age 40 McCue was a faculty spouse, stymied by Depression employment policies from working despite two graduate degrees.

Then McCue had the idea of rendering Dr. Samuel Johnson as a crime-solving detective. She created a new role for herself and also invented a new sub-genre of whodunnit.

@mia @zoeleblanc Those are excellent questions! We (by which I mean Zoe) have been working so far on getting data from GitHub and have an initial write up in the works (which I should be doing right now). Once we have a good handle on the different types of work/roles that are visible on GitHub, we will start to ask those questions about behaviors within the different groups.

I'm excited about this project - it started as just a "I wonder if we can see these dynamics on GitHub" and it just keeps growing.

Hi everyone! I am a digital historian of American religion, currently hanging out in religious studies but increasingly focused on data science methods within historical research and critical data studies. Also keeping an eye on developments in AI and machine learning generally.
