DIGITAL CULTURES

The Libraries' exploration of digital culture, digital scholarship and technology's social and cultural implications continues in spring. Join us for the next programs in this series.

Film Friday Screening: The Internet’s Own Boy

Mar. 20 | 12 p.m. | Paley Library Lecture Hall

The Internet’s Own Boy follows the story of programming prodigy and information activist Aaron Swartz. From Swartz's help in the development of the basic internet protocol RSS to his co-founding of Reddit, his fingerprints are all over the internet. But it was Swartz's groundbreaking work in social justice and political organizing combined with his aggressive approach to information access that ensnared him in a two-year legal nightmare.

Gender and Chimera: The Ladies Dairy, Almanacs, and Public Mathematics in Early Modern England

Mar. 24 | 2:30 p.m. | Paley Library Lecture Hall

Jacqueline Wernimont’s work is situated at the intersection of feminism and digital humanities. A professor of English at Arizona State, Dr. Wernimont’s research spans early modern literature, digital humanities, history of science, and feminist and possible worlds theory. She is also affiliated with Arizona State’s pioneering Nexus Lab for Digital Humanities and Transdisciplinary Informatics, the ASU Center for Cybersecurity and Digital Identity, and the Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies. At Temple, she will discuss just one of her latest digital projects, which focuses on the Ladies Diary, an early British mathematical periodical.
