This project explores the use of art as a form of testimony and as a way to both corroborate and analyze the experience of prisoners in the Janowska concentration camp from a spatial perspective. In particular, it will draw on the work of Zeev Porath, a prisoner in the camp whose collection of drawings represent both documentary witnessing and also his emotional reaction to the events he witnessed as a result of his own privileged position in the camp.
This digital presentation combines testimony of multiple kinds from Porath, other survivors, and...

My dissertation was a musical ethnography informed by ethnomusicology, media studies, ethnic studies, and the digital humanities. In this project, I interrogated the sociocultural boundaries and borders of “Asian America,” as re-imagined and reconfigured by the social networks and cultural production of Asian American independent rock musicians in the post-Civil-rights and post-9/11 United States. As soon as I began my field research, I discovered that the notion of “the field” has changed because of the...

This project uses geospatial technology to assist Classics professor Jenny Strauss Clay in testing her theories about the relation of ancient geography to mnemonic devices and poetic form. Least-cost path analysis in GIS, coupled with literary analysis of the nearly 190 place names mentioned in Homer’s Catalogue of Ships, also holds promise in helping to identify lost archaeological sites. Jenny Strauss Clay argues that the Catalogue of Ships can be mapped...
