The Graduate Association for the Department of Spanish and Portuguese (GRASP) Annual Scholar Lecture

"Alternative Archives in Digital Humanities"

April 8th, 4:00pm

Zoom Meeting ID: 956 5001 0354

Passcode: 288046

This year's GRASP Annual Scholar Lecture changes from the traditional speaker format to an online panel on the use of alternative archives that interrupt official histories through digital memory. Three guest speakers in digital humanities will share their work on projects that rewrite traditional ways of thinking in the digital era and the ways they challenge history through interdisciplinary and collective approaches.

This event will offer the KU community, and specifically students in the social studies and the humanities, an opportunity to see different academic perspectives on the subaltern through an innovative medium that reaches across disciplines.

The panelists will each offer a 20-minute presentation on their projects and the use of digital humanities as a medium followed by 30 minutes for questions. Following our annual scholars tradition, the panelists will also be offering an informal conversation with graduate students on the profession.
