How are students and faculty in the School of Humanities exploring and implementing new tools for collaboration, research and publication in the humanities and encouraging experimentation and creative play with digital, social media and computing tools? Please join us for the second research chat of the academic year. We will hear from Dr. Alex Borucki (History), Berenice Tepozano (History), and Haerin Do (Visual Studies). Dr. Borucki and Berenice Tepozano will present their ongoing work with "Trayectorias Afro," which consolidates the work of scholars who have digitized, transcribed, and studied local records on the sale of enslaved people of African descent in New Spain. Haerin Do will present "Data Visualization and 3D Simulation as Art Historical Methods," which shares two experiences using data visualization and 3D simulation as research methods in art history and raises critical questions about how digital humanities methods can contribute to the difficulties of art history research where objects no longer exist or are not able to be visualized.
