Description

Please join us for our Fall 2017 kickoff of the Digitial Humanities & D-Lab Affiliates Lecture Series + Happy Hour! For this week's event, the D-Lab Hate Speech Team will be joining us to present on their work.

Presentation

The story of the digital humanities is often narrated at a decades-long history of the computational manipulation of print.  What alternative histories are concealed by such a story? How might we imagine DH differently if we move beyond a focus on text toward multimodal expression and design?  What audiences might such work reach? This talk will trace some of the alternate histories of DH, paying particular attention to the visual and the political by engaging the work of feminists, artists, and scholars of color.

The Digital Humanities Fellows Lecture Series begins on Friday, March 18th. The DH Fellows Lecture Series brings together the campus DH community for the scholarly presentation and informal discussion of specific aspects of digital humanities practice. Each meeting a different Fellow presents their ongoing work before the conversation is opened to hands-on experimentation in addition to questions, and comments. Intended to further the critical understanding and practice of the digital humanities at Berkeley, these lectures are intended for both existing and prospective DH practitioners.

Join the Library, Educational Technology Services, Digital Humanities at Berkeley, the D-Lab, the Arts and Humanities Division, and Research IT for a morning mixer. We will provide a brief overview of our services for digital researchers in the humanities and offer drop-in consultations. Upcoming opportunities for training and funding will also be discussed. This event will be held in the new Academic Innovation Studio, a space where faculty can come together to discuss teaching and learning innovation. Coffee and bagels will be served.
