"Digital Transformations of Knowledge" by Dr. Ralph Schroeder, Oxford Internet Institute, April 11, 2013. (Kerk Kee)

"Iluminacion Kickoff Reception,” February 20, 2013. (Morgan Read-Davidson)

In 2013, Lia Halloran is bringing to campus artist C. Finley, who lives in Rome and photographer Io Tillet Wright, who lives in NY, is a TED lecturer, and created of the “Self Evident Truths” project.

Image Text Interface co-hosted the interactive calligraphy demonstration on October 23, 2012. Claudine Jaenichen, Anna Leahy, and Morgan Read-Davidson worked with librarian Scott Stone to develop an educational experience for students in Art and English in conjunction with the Leatherby Libraries’ temporary calligraphy exhibit.

Claudine Jaenichen works with undergraduate graphic design and psychology students in evacuation field studies testing cognitive recall of written, audio, and visual presentations of evacuation information. Her students receive internal university research grants for this project.

TAB: The Journal of Poetry & Poetics supports one Graduate Assistant, paid with a small hourly wage funded through Wilkinson College’s work-study budget. In addition, MFA students will be invited to join the journal staff in 2013-2014; those staff will evaluate submissions and participate in the copyediting and layout of monthly electronic issues. Ideally, some roles would be paid internships, though there is currently no funding for this student research.

The literary journal dirtcakes, which is housed off-campus and edited by Catherine Keefe, uses student interns in conjunction with internship course credit through Chapman University.

Science Librarian Douglas Dechow teaches a course in Humanities Computing for the Department of English. The long-term goal is to introduce students across Wilkinson College to the digital humanities and to encourage arts and humanities students to participate in the Minor in Game Design. Morgan Read-Davidson is also working toward course goals linked to digital representation and dissemination of text and image.

Jim Blaylock and Douglas Dechow are in the initial discussion stages to bring the Philip K. Dick Conference to Chapman University in 2016.
