This would be a chance to meet others on campus who are interested in digital scholarly work and share your research interests, as well as to meet MITH staff and see our space. \u00a0We especially encourage new graduate students and faculty to attend and give a brief 3-5 minute lightning talk about their research interests\u2014whether you’ve just begun thinking about some topic, or are further along on a project. \u00a0These talks can be brief and informal, but you are welcome to share graphics or a presentation if you wish.<\/p>\n

If enough interested students and faculty express interest, this event will occur on 9\/27, the Tuesday<\/span><\/span> immediately preceding our first Digital Dialogue talk with Purdom Lindblad<\/a>\u00a0(MITH Assistant Director of Innovation and Learning). Light refreshments would be provided.<\/p>\n<\/div>
