Wired! Approaches to Digital Scholarship
Tuesday, October 21, 2:30 p.m.
Through a collaborative, laboratory approach, members of Duke University's Wired! apply visualization technologies to the study of material culture, art, architecture and urban history. In the process, they ask new questions, expand upon emerging lines of inquiry and transform scholarship. Join Wired! members and Duke professors Victoria Szabo and Kristin Lanzoni to discuss recent projects and digital scholarship's impact on teaching, research and the broader public. Support for this program is provided by the Department of Art History, the Department of Graphic Arts and Design and the Photography Program, and the Department of Architecture.
Public programs are held at Paley Library, 1210 Polett Walk, on Temple's Main Campus, unless otherwise specified.
In addition to our curated, thematic programs, our series encompasses a number of discussions designed to engage the outstanding work of our faculty, highlight the strengths of our library and foster conversations with a range of partner organizations.
Upcoming programs include the following:
