Join us on Wed, April 15 from 12-1pm (Location: Espresso Royale) for the final DH Reading Group of Spring 2015.
Ellen Moll will lead a discussion on ‘Ethnicity and Race in Digital Humanities’ based on the following articles. Don’t worry – they each rather short. Please read as many of the articles as possible in advance of the discussion, but also feel welcome to attend even if you haven’t had a chance to read it all!
