Jeremy Mikecz is an Andrew W. Mellon Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Digital Humanities at the University of Southern California. Jeremy is a historian doing research at the intersection of geography and ethno-, social, and digital history. His current research combines old-fashioned archival research and 'close reading' with digital text analysis and mapping to reconstruct indigenous activity and its role in shaping the events of conquest-era Peru. More broadly, his research experiments with the use of digital tools to reconstruct the history of marginalized people. In other words, this work proposes an agenda and a methodology for a 'digital history from below.

Jeremy's work was most recently published in the International Journal of Humanities and Arts Computing (Edinburgh University Press, March 2017): "Peering beyond the Imperial Gaze: Using Digital Tools to Construct a Spatial History of Conquest." http://www.euppublishing.com/doi/abs/10.3366/ijhac.2017.0177
