February 2015

January brought with it sub-zero temperatures, three Post-Bac January-Term courses, and another round of student microgrants; February brings with it another 5CollDH Speaker Series lecture, and blog posts from our Student Fellows, micro grant recipients and Post-Bacs.

Here are some recaps, updates, and events to look forward to. As always—please let us know your ideas for DH by taking our survey. We could really use your help!

5CollDH January Term Courses and Workshops

In January, 5CollDH the post-bacs Jeffrey Moro, Kimberly Bain, and Mariel Nyröp each facilitated a a Five College DH course. Faculty, staff, and students from the Five Colleges came together to partake in Moro's course on E.Lit/Net.Art, Nyröp's exploration of Peer-to-Peer politics, and Bain's Video Game practicum.
