Nora Dimmock
Director of the Digital Humanities Center
University of Rochester, River Campus
The River Campus Libraries’ Digital Humanities Center is collaborating with English Professor Joel Burges on a project that seeks to quantify temporal elements of the narrative structure of films, television shows, and texts. This collaboration includes co-teaching a semester-long seminar class with Professor Burges, working with another class to include a digital project to take the place of a traditional paper, and developing tools for data visualization and collection to support Professor Burges’s research. This unique partnership promotes experiential learning, undergraduate and graduate research, digital humanities scholarship, and exemplifies the University of Rochester’s unique “each-one teach-one” philosophy of teaching and research.
