GC Digital Showcase

The GC Digital Showcase, held annually since 2012, took place on May 12, 2020 as a virtual event. The Showcase featured brief presentations by the MA in Digital Humanities Praxis seminar, doctoral student winners of this year’s Provost’s Digital Innovation Grants, and by students in the Interactive Data Visualization courses. Fourteen students across disciplines in the humanities and social sciences shared their research on topics ranging from gentrification in Queens, Henry Kissinger’s prolific career, alt-right discourses, and Victorian women’s sports culture, among many others. The slides from all the presentations are provided at the end of the post.
