About Elijah Meeks

elijah.meeks's picture

I'm a digital humanities specialist at Stanford, working on the production of scholarly digital media. Before that, I was a graduate student at the University of California, Merced, where I've been exploring the connections between Nature and Society, as well as representing and analyzing such knowledge using digital means. Alongside Ruth Mostern, I've recently completed the Digital Gazetteer of the Song Dynasty, which utilizes MySQL and ArcGIS to visualize and analyze political change in medieval China.
