Annotation Studio & the Futures of Annotation

Elyse Graham, Ph.D, Yale University on Wednesday, May 7

Annotation Studio is an open-source digital tool that permits users to create, store, and share annotations that link to digital materials of all kinds. This talk compared annotative models and devices that readers have used historically to organize the information in texts, in order to better understand the needs that the readers bring to the digital environment.

Academic Roundtable: Moving Research Forward

Christal Brown and other members of the Movement Matters Steering Committee, Wednesday, April 30

Members of the Movement Matters steering committee discussed the process of creating interdisciplinary research models that foster embodied scholarship. This discussion will begin by looking into current research models that blend dance and science and identify other collaborative models that could be supported thorough our current curriculum. The Movement Matters steering committee comprises faculty from Dance, Education Studies, Biology, and Sociology and Anthropology. Movement Matters is a three year initiative funded by the Mellon Foundation to support the work of an interdisciplinary movement artist working across the disciplines of the college.
