Events & Calendars Amherst Reacts: a presentation by Frost Digital Scholarship Interns

Making use of nearly two centuries of student publications preserved in Amherst’s Archives and Special Collections, students from the Library's 2016 Digital Scholarship Summer Internship immersed themselves in traditional scholarship with a digital lens to explore how Amherst students reacted to campus life and the world around them through comedy, poetry and protest. In this panel presentation, students will present their final project and take questions from the audience, and library staff will provide context on digital humanities at the college, as well as how the library helps foster and support student research. Coloring and button-making will be available for children! Student panelists include William Harvey '18, Norah Oteri '18 and Phuong-Nghi Pham '18.

This event is part of family weekend, but is open to all! Donuts and cider will be provided.
