UNDERGRADUATE STUDENT PROJECTS

This is a collection of photos, interviews, and words that discuss 9-Man volleyball in Boston and its role in the lives of Asian Americans. The goal was to not only share the sport of 9-Man, which is often not known, and to share the struggles and some examples discrimination that Asian Americans and Asian American athletes face. It showcases 9-Man as an outlet and a way for these athletes to express themselves and truly see how strong and confident they can be.
Emily Griffin: “Mein Stank” (Photo Essay) Honorable Mention

GRADUATE STUDENT PROJECTS
It is a digital story about how Harry Potter helped me see the world. The digital story evolves around how I relate to the character and how the character. For this project, I have attempted to use appropriate video clips and music to not only trigger an emotional response, but to help set the context of my story of Harry Potter.
Patricia Case: “Tricia MK” (Video)
Molly Booth: “Digital Performance Pedagogy” (Video)
Kaitlin Thurlow: “Ulysses@100” (Video)
As a visual artist and literature student, my goal is to integrate the two disciplines in my creative, academic and professional work. This project includes audio narration and text excerpts of “Ulysses” with my interpretation of the novel, created in a series of abstract paintings and digital sketches. The digital project integrated these modalities and allowed the exhibit to be accessible and portable. By imagining the exhibit in multi-modalities, it opened up alternative possibilities for “reading” a text. In this project, audiences who are either new or familiar to the novel, sometimes described as “difficult” may have a new perspective or experience with “Ulysses.”
Sam Adamson: “Who is your daddy and what have we done?”(Video)

Matt Rogulski: “Aethereal Advisors”(Website and Vector Art)
Caitlin Ghegan: “Split”(Webpage) Honorable Mention
“Split,” an interactive “stir fry” poem, uses javascript and multimedia to illustrate an experience of Generalized Anxiety Disorder. I started with the hope that the poem might help to illustrate my sometimes-frenetic experiences, but also highlight the way in which digital environments can open up new modes of literature.
Nicholas Trefonides and Emmanuel Saake: “Cooperative Poem”(Webpage)

Daniel Elfanbaum: “Experiments in Digital Poetics” (Webpage)
Krisela Karaja: “Blood/\Feud”(Webpage) Honorable Mention
FACULTY PROJECTS
Matthew Davis, Assistant Prof. of English: “Ways of Knowing & Doing in Digital Rhetoric” (Webtext & Video)
This webtext excerpts 25 audio/video interviews with scholars in digital rhetoric and digital humanities and synthesizes their interview responses into an overview of emergent digital rhetorical pedagogy. This portion of the text examines their reponses to four questions:
- What are the outcomes for teaching with/in digital rhetoric, and how do you achieve those outcomes?
- If you had to pick one reading/book/essay/scholar to assign your students in digital rhetoric, what would it be and why?
- What is your favorite assignment in digital rhetoric and why?
- How (if at all) do you assess digital rhetoric in the classroom?
