Associate Professor Paul Mathieu’s research projects are informed by computer technologies and ceramics as complementary forms of archives. Mathieu says, “As with any research, the methods and systems are somewhat defined, yet the goals are less clear and the results totally unknown.” Mathieu was recently awarded a partnership development grant by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC). This award presents Mathieu with the opportunity to work collaboratively with the help of computer savvy student research assistants and his three partners, Janet deBoos from Australian National University, Yanze Jiang from Nanjing Art Institute and the Huaguang Bone China factory in Zibo, China.
