We are a collaborative, interdisciplinary group sharing evolving research encouraging deeper discourse in critical making. We hold biweekly meetings to read relevant literature, discuss methodologies, explore campus resources, and learn by making together. We also hold open making hours to provide a supportive environment for communal making, transferring knowledge, giving feedback, brainstorming, sharing drafts, and peer-reviewing ongoing projects. All are welcome and encouraged to join any time!

Humanities researchers are often not accustomed to treating their objects of study as “data,” rather focusing on texts, collections, or cultural objects as the base unit of their research. However, the rich variety of data analysis tools in common practice allows for an incredible opportunity for expanded research avenues when humanities sources are treated as sources for data extraction.
How can the future of climate change and urban rivers be told through the stories of community members? And how can these stories be shared across digital platforms? What is the link between qualitative research methods and the co-creation of futures? Evan Tims has spent years researching these questions and building a platform for climate fiction publishing focused on voices from across South Asia. In this talk, he will explore the possibilities of climate storytelling as a research method and mode of public digital humanities scholarship.
This event is open to anyone but we do ask you to register in advance so we can estimate how much food to order.
