Digital Studio

Dr Grincheva is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Research Unit of Public Cultures at The University of Melbourne. She pursues her career in the field of digital humanities focusing on development of new computational methods to study contemporary museums as important players in creative economy. Her first book, Branding the Global Guggenheim: Cultural Diplomacy in the Neoliberal Age, explores franchising museum practices as new avenues for contemporary institutional diplomacy and global museum PR. The second monograph forthcoming in 2018, Museum Diplomacy in the Digital Age, will contribute to the 'Museum Meanings' Routledge series. It will explore online museum spaces as sites of social activism and digital diplomacy through several case studies of the largest museums in North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific.

From 2011 to 2013, Dr Daniel Russo-Batterham worked as a researcher at the Centre d'Études Supérieures de la Renaissance in Tours, France, while completing a Master of Music. In April 2018, he graduated from his PhD at the University of Melbourne where he examined seventeenth-century lute songs, with a particular focus on the relationship between text and music. Following graduation, Daniel participated in the 2018 Digital Studio internship program, where he used digital tools to examine Australian and French trench literature from the First World War. He has been using python and associated technologies to analyse music and text for the past five years and continues to be involved with a broad range of Digital Humanities projects in Australia and France. Daniel is currently collaborating with the Grainger Museum and the Rare Music Collection to create interactive online resources that offer unique insights into the musical materials held at the University of Melbourne as part of the project Visualising Special Music Collections
