Creative Digital Projects

Students in the Modern Languages and Literature Department have the opportunity to create digital creative writing projects that explore the intersection between creative writing and digital tools.

This includes a wide array of genres and modalities including audio dramas, Twinery fictions, experimental structures, narrative games, digitally mapped poetry and more.

Example Projects:

  • : Mapped Poetry by Gene Rash 
  • : Twine Interactive Story by Charli Jaurez and Kyannah Flores

Scholarly Digital Projects

Undergraduate students in digital literary studies and literature classes explore ways to think about writing and literature integrating digital tools — such ArcGis, Scalar and Voyant — into larger projects linked to traditional literary analysis.

They use digital mapping tools to examine how our understanding of space and place intersects with close reading and analysis.

Students experiment with using video essays, websites and digital images to convey their analyses to the audience.

In all their projects, students practice ethical attribution and thoughtfully consider issues of copyright and intellectual property in digital spaces.

Example Projects:

  • Horatio Alger's New York City, an interactive, historical map of Dick and Frank's tour of New York City by Lauren Hou:
  • : A Video Essay by Hannah Gordon
