Dr. S.I. Scagliola (Stef)
| Role in Erasmus Studio: Contact details: |
Dr. Stef Scagliola is a military historian. From 2006-2011 she was the coordinator of an oral history project conducted at the Netherlands Institute for Veterans resulting in a collection of 1000 life-history interviews from among a representative sample of Dutch war and military mission veterans. This collection is partly online and available in open access. Through this ‘digital born’ initiative she became involved in various ICT-projects which aim at developing adequate tools and data standards for researchers who work with qualitative data, and because of her in-depth knowledge of the design and use of ICT-tools she is frequently invited as an advisor in projects implementing e-humanities agendas.
Stef Scagliola holds a PhD in Contemporary History from the Erasmus University Rotterdam. Her dissertation: 'Burden of War, Coming to term with Dutch War Crimes in Indonesia’ was published in 2002 and shortlisted for the ICODO Award. For an earlier study she received the Jan Romein Award. Currently she is a researcher at the ESHCC where she is involved in the design and evaluation of the usability aspects for scholarly users in AXES and CroMe, projects aiming at the application of access technology for multimedia content. For the Erasmus Studio she will guide the development of courseware and methodological training for humanities researchers with an interest in multimedia content collections.
