Matt Breece – My project examines the phenomenon of “fake news” in our current digital media landscape. Although fake news is nothing new, its influence on public discourse has taken on a renewed significance with its accelerated circulation through digital and social media platforms. I want to create an annotated bibliography that compiles articles that address the issue of fake news, catalogue repositories and archives that collect fake news stories, and examine digital tools that help identify, analyze, and debunk fake news.
Justin Hatch – Using David Tell’s “The Emmett Till Memory Project” as a model, I imagine my project to be a hub for those wishing to investigate the life and words of Stokley Carmichael, one of the most influential rhetoricians of the Black Freedom Struggle. As the centerpiece of the project, I hope to produce a thick map of Carmichael’s speeches between 1966 and his self-exile to Conakry in 1969.
Reinhard Mueller– in the first step of my project, I want to, scan and digitize selected works of James Joyce (using OCR and TEI), beginning with his collection of short stories ‘Dubliners’. The overall project has the long-term goal to develop a website to search for single words or phrases in James Joyce’s writings.
Mike O’Brien – My project is to create a compilation of video essays looking at radical forms of media making in the 1960s and 1970s. Beginning with an examination of strategies/manifestos Third Cinema practitioners overtly employed, the series will proceed to look at how people of color in America utilized these ideas and techniques in the post-Civil rights moment.
