The disruptions that COVID-19 unleashed on us has awoken many to the value and relevance of digital technologies in our daily lives--particularly in the world of education. While we grapple with EdTech and virtual learning, the interdisciplinary field of digital humanities has been focused on the unique practices of knowledge production and learning made possible by digital tools.

This webinar will describe the field of Digital Humanities (or DH, as it is commonly called) and address questions around digital affordances and the output of significant projects generated in the field. Several of these DH projects involve curation of contemporary heritage and a new approach to Cultural Studies in India. At FLAME University we have been offering courses in DH for several years, and the projects and research this produced provides a model in virtual learning and collaboration. The work showcased will include websites, podcasts and digital archives and covers a wide span of topics from databases in children's literature, crowdsourcing community cookbooks, and timelines of colonial botanical surveys. Join us for a peek into the world of undergraduate student research at FLAME University. Prof. Maya will be joined by FLAME alumni, Aarathi Ganesan and FLAME undergraduate student, Muskaan Pal.
