Highlighting the breadth, depth and innovative use of digital and computational scholarship in graduate student research, we invite you to the Arts Graduate Student Showcase on Digital and Computational Scholarship, an end-of-term showcase celebrating graduate student research across the Faculty of Arts.
The event will feature lightning talks, posters, valuable community building and networking opportunities, bringing together students and faculty engaged in cutting-edge digital-led research in the creative arts, humanities and social sciences. This is both a showcase and a community building event!
The showcase embraces the expansive nature of digital scholarship, where you will see projects that broach several topics such as environmental racism, legal studies and AI, social movements, climate change discourse, using various modalities and methods including text analysis, digital archiving, database design, data visualization, computational analysis, data mining, bertopic modelling, Storymaps Storytelling, CollectionBuilder, Machine Visioning, among others!
