Catherine D'Ignazio & Wonyoung So - Audit the Streets - DH Workshop Series 2021-2022

Presented by Catherine D'Ignazio & Wonyoung So

Prof. Catherine D'Ignazio and Wonyoung So (DUSP/Data + Feminism Lab) present Audit the Streets, a multimodal research project that catalogs uneven and inequitable commemoration practices in the US landscape. It includes a national-scale database, a data story about places commemorating Christopher Columbus, a zine about counter-Columbus contestations, an investigation of the prevalence of commemorating landed white Harvard men in Cambridge, and a research paper that draws from Black and Indigenous feminisms to theorize audits.

The Digital Humanities Workshop provides a flexible, dynamic space for faculty and researchers to connect with one another about digital research and teaching topics. This semester will focus on innovative approaches to storytelling that combine archival methods and digital tools. Co-hosted by MIT Libraries and Programs in Digital Humanities. Held on the first Thursday of each month at 5 pm in The Nexus, Hayden Library (14S-130).
