Latinx Studies and Digital Humanities Workshop, Featuring Professor Isis Campos

Denison University welcomes the Laura C. Harris Scholar-in-Residence Isis Campos. Campos studied in the Hispanic Studies department at the University of Houston. Her research focuses on U.S. Latino literature, specifically examining the rise and development of Central American women’s identities and subjectivity in the U.S. through their representation in literature. Additionally, she was an Inter-University Program for Latino Research/Mellon Fellow from University of Chicago Illinois for 2019-2020, a research fellow at Recovering the US Hispanic Literary Heritage Program at Arte Público Press from 2016 to 2019 and a HASTAC (Humanities, Arts, Science and Technology Advanced Collaboratory) scholar 2018-2020 involved in the development of US Latina/o Digital Humanities projects.

The focus of this workshop will be Network Analysis, a data visualization web tool that examines the relationships within a dataset. There will be a brief overview of Digital Humanities with a presentation on Network Analysis, followed by a virtual hands-on activity. Attendees are encouraged to have access to their own computers in order for all participants to work simultaneously.
