Guldana Salimjan's project, “Digitizing Settler Colonial Histories in China’s Northwestern Frontier,” has been selected for the Jackman Scholars-in-Residence (SiR) 2026 program. SiR is an intensive, 4-week paid research fellowship in humanities and humanistic social-science research for upper-year undergraduates. Salimkan’s project asks how bureaucratic textual practices—such as gazetteers, annotated indexes of local geographic, biographic, and chronological information—codify territorial expansion, institutional control, and the ideological labor of frontier settlement? And how can digital humanities methodologies make these materials accessible for new forms of analysis? >> About the SiR program
