See a more detailed profile on the UU page.
Kelly Breemen was a Researcher in Residence from August 2024 – February 2025, working together with Vicky Breemen. Their project centers on ‘bias’ and discusses how the concept can be qualified in theory and subsequently quantified in digital cultural heritage practice, with gender in the KB’s digital newspaper collections as a case study. The aim of the project is not to de-bias collections, but to increase transparency and awareness of potential biases among both users of the digitised collections and cultural heritage institutions themselves.
