Over the past two years students in classes taught by Prof. Cecilia Márquez and Prof. Joan Munné have worked to create the first-of-its-kind exhibit in the Chappel Family Gallery in Perkins Library entitled “Nuestra Historia, Nuestra Voz: Latinx at Duke.” This exhibit documents the long history of Latinx students at Duke University. This Story+ team continued the important work started by this exhibit by producing a pilot website that documents the physical exhibit and using those materials to create new digital content. This website will be used in future courses and for future researchers. This project weaved together public humanities and digital humanities skills to produce a dynamic hub for the continued exploration of the rich history of Latinx's at Duke University and the region more broadly.
Project Sponsor(s):
Cecilia Márquez, Hunt Family Assistant Professor of History
Joan Munné, Senior Lecturer of Romance Language
Graduate Mentor(s):
Lucas da Silva Lopes, Ph.D. candidate in Romance Studies
Undergraduates:
Megan Corey, Jamie Gonzalez, David Sardá
Story+ is a 6-week summer research experience for Duke undergraduates interested in exploring humanities research approaches (archival research, oral histories, narrative analysis, visual analysis, and more). The program combines research with an emphasis on storytelling for different public audiences. In Story+, students are organized into small project teams and have the opportunity to participate in a flexible mini “curriculum” on research methods and storytelling strategies. Team projects may be led by Duke faculty, Duke librarians, or non-profit organizations, and will be supervised on a day-to-day basis by graduate student mentors.
