The Download is where we highlight the work scholars are doing with and around digital technology. In this issue, Ph.D. student Jacob Barrett (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill), discusses the benefits and complications that arise when using computational text analysis as a research tool within the social sciences and humanities. Here he focuses specifically on the marginalization of minority communities in digital humanities data and on the benefits of decelerating and being patient in researching.
