The Literary Archive: Women Writing for Rights AS.365.104 (02)
What happens when a woman writer addresses questions of justice, inequity, privilege, and rights in her fiction, poetry, or journalism? Reading selected texts of the early 1900s by six North American women, we will use digitized rare books and archival materials to consider how literary artifacts and collections often express the status quo in terms of race, gender, and class; how they shape a writer’s legacy; and how we can redirect these processes.

The BMA Seminar: Digital Interpretation AS.389.324 (01)
When museums shut their galleries in response to the global pandemic they saw a surge in digital audiences and engagement, athough not everyone can access digital content equally. Continued public health risks bring new challenges to digital interpretation, while universal access as well as embedded racial and gender bias remain significant issues. Students research what works and what doesn't in digital interpretation for art museums, centering social equity and accessibility in their assessment, and develop principles and guidelines for the museum's digital interpretation strategy.
