Three GSLIS Doctoral Students Named HASTAC Scholars

October 26, 2009

Three GSLIS doctoral students—Damian Duffy, Safiya Noble, and Sarah Roberts—have been named 2009-2010 University of Illinois Humanities, Arts, Sciences, Technology, Advanced Collaboratory (HASTAC) Scholars by the Institute for Computing in Humanities, Arts and Social Science (I-CHASS).

The HASTAC Scholars fellowship program recognizes graduate and undergraduate students who are engaged in innovative work across the areas of technology, the arts, the humanities, and the sciences that have been nominated by University of Illinois faculty.

Scholars act as the eyes and ears of HASTAC's virtual network, bringing the work happening on the University of Illinois campus and in their disciplines to international attention. The Scholars will spend the year as part of a virtual community of students creating, reporting on, blogging, vlogging, and podcasting events and scholarship for an international audience on the HASTAC website. Scholars will work together to facilitate the growth of digital disciplines on the Illinois campus via outreach and development efforts.
