March mixer brings together DH graduate students from across Grounds

Graduate students from a cross-section of UVA’s humanities departments gathered in Alderman Library on March 27, 2019 for a spring DH mixer sponsored by the Office of the Dean of the Library and DH@UVA. The event drew a range of attendees in the UVA DH community from graduate students who were on the cusp of completing the DH Graduate Certificate program to first year doctoral students who sought information about how to begin incorporating digital humanities approaches in their research.  Attendees also had the chance to converse with staff members from Scholars’ Lab, SHANTI, and Rennie Mapp, Administrative Director of the DH Certificate program.

“We had a great mixture of DH veterans and fresh faces demonstrating interest in digital humanities opportunities. It was especially gratifying to see new graduate students get an up-close-and-personal view of people who are pushing the boundaries of digital humanities scholarship on Grounds,” said Elyse Oakley, a PhD Student in the Corcoran Department of Philosophy and organizer of the mixer. The final DH mixer for the Spring 2019 semester will take place on May 7, 2019 in Brooks Hall.
