Dr. Newton will give a preview into “Decoding Diaspora: J. A. Rogers’ Mythic Africa” a research project that he’s working on in the RELdl and his REL226: African Diaspora Religions course.
The project brings together a variety of digital elements, including GIS, coding, web design, OCR, metadata protocols, and archiving. In addition to highlighting this work-in-progress, Newton will discuss lessons learned in incorporating undergraduates and graduates in digital research initiatives.
