Free Digital Humanities lecture at Uconn, 4/23

University of Connecticut, Storrs Campus
Thomas J Dodd Research Center, Konover Auditorium

Technological developments are transforming the ways in which scholars approach pedagogy, research, and scholarship. These developments are creating a new landscape which promotes digital scholarship--allowing scholars to approach research and teaching in new ways, as well as pose new questions. This year’s Spring Forum will examine the current state of digital scholarship, intersections with digital humanities and media, as well as its implications for academia and libraries.

Free and open to the public, this event will feature an overview of digital humanities by Tom Scheinfeldt, Director-at-Large of the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media and Research Assistant Professor of History in the Department of History and Art History at George Mason University.  Following his talk, Scheinfeldt will join a panel discussion moderated by UConn Libraries’ Music & Dramatic Arts Librarian Anna Kijas.  Also featured on the panel are UConn participants:  Tim Hunter, Professor and Department Head of Digital Media and Design; Fiona Somerset, Associate Professor of English; and Carsten Witt, Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Literatures, Cultures, & Languages.
