Summaries

Summary Sentence: Join DILAC Lab for a series of conversations with leading luminaries in fields of digital humanities and game design

Full Summary: Join DILAC Lab for a series of conversations with leading luminaries in fields of digital humanities and game design. Between February and March, we will be hosting four Skype Sessions to talk about their work, digital humanities, digital labs, graduate training, and the place of all these things within a broader political and social context. We hope the series will spark conversation and collaboration between Georgia Tech and this diverse group of prominent scholars. The speaker for this event is Melissa Dinsman, Assistant Professor of English at York College and Author of DH series in LA Review of Books. Her bio on the York College website reads, "Melissa Dinsman holds a Ph.D. in Literature from the University of Notre Dame and specializes in twentieth-century British literature, media studies, and the digital humanities. Her first book, Modernism at the Microphone: Radio, Propaganda, and Literary Aesthetics During World War II (Bloomsbury 2015), explores the intersection of modernism and media aesthetics, bringing together her interest in late-modernist radio broadcasting, archival recovery, and information networks. Dinsman’s current book project, America’s Blitz, looks at the ways in which British and U.S. writers, directors, and broadcasters translated British wartime experiences for American audiences during World War II. Her most recent work can be found in places such as Contemporary Women’s Writing, The Space Between, and the L.A. Review of Books."
