UVic digital humanities in CHE cover story
The current edition of The Chronicle of Higher Education features UVic's digital humanities and Janelle Jenstad's Map of London in a frontpage article entitled "Literary Geospaces."
According to the article, "Jenstad is an assistant professor of English at the University of Victoria, which has a strong reputation in the digital humanities. Based on the Agas map, a 6-foot-2-inch woodcut of London dating from the 1560s, her Web site lays out the streets and boundaries of the city in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. But Jenstad's goal is to move the user beyond cartography into historiography and what she calls "narrative evidence."
That’s twice UVic has hit digital humanities headlines in The Chronicle in two months. In June, The Chronicle featured Dr. Ray Siemens's Digital Humanities Summer Institute.
