His work spans educational technology (eMargin for literature studies), policy analysis (political document annotation), and quantitative methods (XML processing of conversational transcripts).
Labs and Teams: As core member of the Research and Development Unit for English Studies, Gee collaborates on interdisciplinary initiatives advancing corpus-based research, including WebCorp Learn for language learners and automated analysis of web forums, Twitter phenomena, and lexical change in digital news.
