Globus Lecture

New Tools for Student Collaboration

Matthew K. Gold, Erin Glass, and Jennifer Stoops

Tuesday, May 12, 5:30-7pm, NVC 14-269

 

From: Cheryl Smith, Director of Great Works of Literature

 

The Great Works of Literature Program in English invites you to the Globus Event, "New Tools for Student Collaboration," featuring guest speakers Matthew K. Gold, Associate Professor and Advisor to the Provost for Digital Initiatives at the CUNY Graduate Center, along with PhD candidates Erin Glass and Jennifer Stoops. Gold, Glass, and Stoops are winners of a prestigious 2014 Digital Humanities Start-Up Grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities for “Social Paper,” a software project that enables students to easily share writing and feedback with peers. Connected with the CUNY Academic Commons, an open source social network built by and for students and faculty, Social Paper critically intervenes in the disturbing trends of digital surveillance, locked proprietary code, and obsolescence/disappearance of tools. They will share details of their winning project and discuss its broader applications in our classrooms and research. 

 

A light supper will be served. 

 

To ensure that we order enough food, please RSVP to Dr. Carina Pasquesi at carina.pasquesi@baruch.cuny.edu by 2 pm on Monday, May 11.
