Dear Sydney Corpus Lab members and affiliates,
My name is Kelvin and I have just started supporting the Sydney Corpus Lab as project manager. I have recently completed my PhD in Japanese Studies and have written a blog post for the lab which you can find here<https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/GdyaCGv0oyCJw4BPDuKXXed?domain=sydneycorpuslab.com/> along with other blog posts.
