Special Events & Announcements
(Re)presenting Humanities at the Margins: Curating and Visualizing Cultural Memory in the Digital Humanities
Graduate School of Education, EDUC 290B, Mondays, 1-4 pm (CCN: 28223): The aim of this course is to interrogate the affordances and constraints of methodological tools--namely, GIS mapping and web-scraping--provided by the digital humanities and beyond to collaboratively create a class project that investigates human resistance, struggle, desire, and yearning for liberation. The course will culminate in an exhibition of our work where we examine what it means to visualize history, curate/(re)present the lives of people at the margins. For more information, please contact Dr. Michael Dumas at michaeldumas@berkeley.edu
