CUNY Graduate Center Digital Initiatives at PIT-NY Regional Hub Activation
This showcase day offers an "open house on the road," where the GC Digital Fellows, an interdisciplinary team of doctoral student fellows who have served as a digital scholarship "think and do tank" of The CUNY Graduate Center since it first launched in 2012, will showcase their work with Graduate Center Digital Initiatives (GCDI).
During the day, Digital Fellows will facilitate an ongoing collective inquiry into the labor that goes into digital projects, including what often remains invisible and obfuscated and explore an interactive archive of 14+ years of student-authored blog posts about digital scholarship.
The day's events will include live demonstrations of the Digital Fellows' approach to technology skills consultations and training. Fellows will share projects and Open Educational Resources they've developed such as the DHRIFT - The Digital Humanities Resource Infrastructure for Teaching Technology, resources and supports on The CUNY Academic Commons, The Graduate Center Digital Research Institute (GC-DRI), and the experimental prototype Tagging The Tower Archive Explorer. Fellows will also be joined by Graduate Center Psychology doctoral student Noah Wistman, who will demonstrate his project Creating a Tactile Interface to Study the Sense of Touch.
