The MI Diaries corpus is a rich set of data documenting Michiganders’ lives during the Covid pandemic and beyond. Our research team is primarily interested in analyzing the sociolinguistic aspects of our corpus, but we also know that this data is valuable for lots of other reasons too! To check out some of the spin-off projects that have emerged out of MI Diaries, check out our past event: DH Locus (November 4, 2021). 

Some of our spin-offs have included projects in schools, colleges, and communities, across a wide range of fields, including: 

• Theatre 

• Language Arts  

• History 

• TESOL 

• Education 

• Visual Art  

If you are interested in working with MI Diaries, we’d love to hear from you! Contact Dr. Betsy Sneller, project leader, at sneller7@msu.edu.
