MITH is proud to announce that Maria Velazquez, a University of Maryland, College Park PhD student in American Studies, as our spring 2011 member for MITH's Winnemore Digital Humanities Dissertation Fellows program.
Each spring semester MITH provides support to a graduate student whose dissertation engages the intersections between new media and the traditional concerns of the Arts and Humanities, offering a stipend equivalent to a semester-long Graduate Assistantship, including tuition and remission. The successful applicant also receives server space, consultations on the dissertation work, and technical support when needed.
Maria Velazquez will be working at MITH on her dissertation project: “Electronic Skin: Community Building and Virtual Embodiment.” Congratulations to Maria and we look forward to welcoming you to MITH this semester as well as a presenter in our Digital Dialogue series.
