CNMS-314 Digital Approaches to Print Media

How can digital tools help us understand print visual culture? This research lab-style seminar integrates humanistic inquiry with a collaborative research and project design process integral to STEM fields. Students will read cutting edge work on artist and illustrated magazines including Life, Vogue, and National Geographic and explore digital humanities projects that offer new ways to explore histories of print media. Students will learn about the possibilities and limits of digital tools such as mapping, visualizations, text mining, and neural networks, and design their own projects utilizing digitized collections of illustrated magazines.
