By Karis Shearer (AMP Lab Principal Investigator)
It’s with mixed emotions that I’m wrapping up The AMP Lab’s Tech Talk Series (2018-23), the longest running research series in the Faculty of Creative and Critical Studies. The series brought together UBC and visiting researchers, students, and industry folks for informal 20-min talks on digital tools they developed, used, or critiqued in humanities research. I am so proud of this series and so grateful to the different co-organizers over the years, to FCCS and FASS for their support, to the speakers who generously shared their work, and the huge community that formed around the series — thank you for your commitment to Digital Humanities on our campus. Tech Talks have drawn over 500 people & are archived on the AMP Lab YouTube channel: https://lnkd.in/gfedte2R
