Andrew Piper
Professor, McGill University
About
Andrew Piper is a professor in the Department of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures at McGill University, where he directs , a lab that uses AI to better understand the nature of human storytelling.
His , Why You Should Read More Fiction, draws on computational analysis of thousands of novels to show what fiction does that other kinds of writing don't: it consistently foregrounds lived experience.
He trained as a Germanist, with a BA from Princeton and a PhD from Columbia, and spent his early career on Goethe and the Romantic book before turning to data. He also runs , a project that invites the public to annotate stories alongside his lab.
