The July/August issue of #ReviewsInDH is now live! Jennifer Guiliano & I are happy to share "Latinx Oral Histories," edited by the brilliant Elena Foulis and Jennifer Lozano. Great projects, big and small, illuminating the collective impact of #DigitalHumanities reviewsindh.pubpub.org/v6-n7-8

This panel connects DH scholars whose projects recover the history of centuries of oppression in the US territory and who do community-engaged research with diverse Latinx/Hispanic and Afro Latinx communities and who respond to the present lived by these communities.

Join us for the panel “Latinidad in the making: DH projects and collective futurities” hosted by GC Digital Initiatives, the Ph.D. Program in Latin American, Iberian, and Latino Cultures, and the MA Program in Digital Humanities!

This interactive digital exhibit visualizes carousel locations throughout New York City and features practical information such as fee structures, neighborhood demographics, and more. Check out this wonderful project here: www.carouselsofnyc.com and find out more about the story of carousels in NYC.

Last semester, Kelly Karst, Julissa Russo, Carla Ordonez, and Leonard Santos worked with Professor Bret Maney from our class Digital Humanities: Methods and Practices to develop this wonderful project, and successfully presented it at the CUNY Graduate Center Digital Showcase.

Carousels of NYC🎠

What’s your first memory of carousels?
Carousels evoke joy and nostalgia, drawing people across diverse backgrounds, yet their placement is often restricted to wealthier neighborhoods, limiting accessibility for many communities.
