Dr. Indya Jackson<\/a>, assistant professor of African-American liter\"\"ature, has been awarded a teaching fellowship by Digital Ethnic Futures Consortium<\/a> (DEFCon) to develop two digital humanities projects at Ramapo College.<\/p>\n

One project is for the English and literary studies senior seminar in the School of Humanities and Global Studies<\/a>. The question guiding the seminar is, \u201cHow do marginalized communities use satire as a form of resistance?\u201d Students will engage with texts such as Paul Beatty\u2019s The Sellout<\/i>, Charles Yu\u2019s\u00a0Interior Chinatown<\/i>, Mosin Hamid\u2019s\u00a0The Last White Man<\/i>, and Chinelo Okparanta\u2019s\u00a0Harry Sylvester Bird<\/i>. Jackson aims \u201cto incorporate into the course the social annotation of assigned criticism\u201d and anticipates that \u201cstudents will meaningfully and critically engage with challenging academic texts in an interactive way.\u201d<\/p>\n

The second project focuses on the creation of an online exhibit showcasing audio and visual materials related to assigned readings. Exhibited materials will likely include audio recordings of authors reading from their work, video interviews with scholars, and\/or original audio and visual art that relates to the course themes. Jackson expects that the exhibit \u201cwill provide a unique, yet critical means through which students can explore and connect with the course material.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
