Programs in Digital Humanities Speaker Series 2020-21
Lauren Klein, Professor of English and Quantitative Theory and Methods, Director of Digital Humanities Lab, Emory University, presents "Digital Humanities and Data Justice: Lessons from Intersectional Feminism." The MIT Libraries are an engine for creating, sharing, and safeguarding knowledge at the Institute and beyond. The Libraries work to improve the world’s collective knowledge by equipping current and future scholars with the best content and the skills to use it, whether examining medieval manuscripts or flying drones to collect data. We make MIT research — from the LIGO detection of gravitational waves, to the design of humanoid robots, to advances in drug delivery — openly accessible to the world. Our new research initiative CREOS tackles the big challenges in information science and scholarly communication, ranging from accessibility and inclusion in library systems to economic models for equitable and open scholarship.
