Sarah Lang: Tackling Data Gaps through Digital Humanities Practice

This recording was created as part of the "Open Research Colloquium Digital History" at Humboldt-University of Berlin and was recorded on 10 December 2025. Sarah Lang, Head of Digital Humanities at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science, presented the lecture: “Tackling Data Gaps through Digital Humanities Practice” Recording Overview In this talk, Sarah Lang explores the crucial role of documentation and auditing in strengthening transparency, enabling responsible reuse, and promoting ethical research practices in Digital Humanities. She highlights the technical and ethical dimensions of openness, access, and accessibility, stressing how a thorough documentation of datasets, algorithms, and outputs, combined with rigorous auditing, can uncover biases, close gaps, and provide context for more inclusive and rigorous digital scholarship. Lang discusses the significance of engaging with (gender) data gaps, the decolonization of Digital Humanities, and combating the epistemicide of non-Western ways of knowing. Drawing on examples from her work at the Max Planck Institute, she demonstrates how these practices can lead to more inclusive methodologies and frameworks in DH research.
