Tom Scheinfeldt, Executive Producer of Omeka

Tom Scheinfeldt, Managing Director of George Mason University’s Center for History & New Media (CHNM) will be speaking at the Graduate Center on: Stuff Digital Humanists Like: Defining Digital Humanities by its Values.”  Besides heading up the Omeka.org and Omeka.net, Scheinfeldt is project director for such high-profile CHNM projects as Zotero.

As Charlie Edwards (@cedwards) notes in her CUNY Digital Humanities Initiative post, Wednesday evening’s discussion will focus both on successful digital humanities (DH) projects and ones that don’t make the cut:  “By highlighting some of the things that do and don’t work in DH projects, he plans to isolate some common characteristics, and see if doing so can point us to a clearer definition, or at least understanding, of DH.”

For all of you embarking upon Omeka projects, looks like this will be an invaluable session to attend.  Hope to see you there!

Time & place: December 1st , 6:30pm-8:30pm, CUNY Graduate Center, Room 9207.
