Save the date – Wednesday, February 5, 2020 from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm – for a second annual Connecting Digital Scholarship event to be held in the Library Gallery in the Hatcher Graduate Library.

Professors Youngju Ryu, Christi Merrill, and others have been engaging in a series of conversations on the topic of “Literatures of Partition” at the Collaboratory.

LSA’s Office of National Scholarships and Fellowships (ONSF) has announced that Evan Binkley has won a Marshall Scholarship for 2020. 

“Making Sense of Diasporas: Pedagogy and Public Engagement” formed to “[tackle] the question of how to combine teaching, research, and public engagement in a collaborative environment.” Shared interests led the team to consider ways to conceptualize diasporas, diasporic identities, and issues of migration.

“Trends in Premodern Media Studies” has formed to explore an emerging field which addresses questions about how scribalism, oral transmission, visual culture, and embodied performance interacted in the formation of traditions in the premodern period.

The task that “Humanities and the Climate Change Crisis” has set for itself is to “engage in conversations about the role that the humanities can play in addressing [climate change] challenges and the responsibilities that academia should undertake in dealing with the worst crisis humanity has ever faced.”
