Hello all,

 

Here’s a list of upcoming DH Open Office Hours in November:

 

All our Open Office Hours sessions this semester will be virtual -- held on Wednesdays from 12:15 to 1:00 via Zoom unless otherwise noted.  We’re starting at 12:15 to give everyone time to get lunch and take a stretch break between virtual meetings.

 

Please note, if you would like to participate in one of these sessions please register through the Northeastern Library Calendar (links below). Anyone can register, but this helps us keep our events secure.  When you register you will receive a calendar invitation with a Zoom link as an attachment to the confirmation email (and not in the body of the email itself). You can register at any time up until the end of each session.

   

November 4, 12:15-1:00pm - Made By Us: Digital Humanities and Public History

Northeastern Public History MA alumna, Caroline Klibanoff, will share her work as the Program Manager of Made By Us. Made By Us is a collaborative initiative of history organizations across the United States that works to bring the public humanities into youth spaces; connecting young people with history and civic participation. Her talk will include both the goals of the Made By Us program and also the tangible challenges and successes of running a brand-new iterative, agile project with and through large, traditional institutions.

 

November 11, 12:15-1:00pm - The Critical Fan Toolkit: Digital, Public Dissertations and User Experience

RSVP here: https://northeastern.libcal.com/event/7132262

In this session, Cara Marta Messina will introduce the pilot of her digital, public dissertation titled "The Critical Fan Toolkit: Fan Fanfiction Genres, Ideologies, and Pedagogies." She will provide a brief description of the project, share a few findings, and discuss the process of creating the digital toolkit. Then, audience members will explore the toolkit on their own as well as take a brief user-experience survey, followed by a group discussion.
