| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
I was able to report on my research at the annual meeting of the English Literary Society of Japan, and the abstract of this paper was included in the ELSJ 2017 conference proceedings. I also gave three invited talks on Shakespeare and Digital Humanities. The first was an open talk for the public at the Tokyo Humanities Cafe. I was also invited to speak on the plenary panel for the annual meeting of the Shakespeare Society of Japan. The SSJ published a summary version of my talk in its 2017 conference proceedings. Finally I was invited to Washington, D.C. to give a public talk at the prestigious Cosmos Club.
I also presented at the annual global digital humanities conference, DH2017, in Montreal and published a refereed short version of this talk among the DH2017 conference proceedings. I also spoke at the 'Before Shakespeare' conference at Roehampton University in London on the subject of lost plays and Thomas Painter and at the annual Liberlit conference at Seikei University on the subject of Fortinbras in Hamlet. For both of these talks in explained how using new digital tools helps to understand Shakespeare and the Shakespearean period.
Finally I spoke at the Renaissance Society of America conference in New Orlean under the auspices of the Spaces for Making and Thinking initiative at Columbia University and the Centre for Reformation and
Renaissance Studies at the University of Toronto. This paper will be expanded and published in a collection of essays, forthcoming from the Columbia University initiative. I continued contributing to 'Lost Plays Database.'
