The HRC aims to facilitate studentcentered digital humanities education with clear pedagogical and professionalization outcomes. As part of this, it will look to establish a digital humanities lab that, in addition to traditional digitization technology, will feature recording, videocasting, podcasting, and digital publishing resources among other possibilities. Digital humanities projects at Lycoming have been driven by faculty research and teaching interests for some time and will continue. The HRC is currently developing a collaborative, institutionally-driven digital research project featuring an oral history of the College to eventually be released as a podcast series. Rather than a comprehensive, linear history of the College, the project would feature a collection of targeted investigations into important aspects or moments in Lycoming College history, drawing on an interdisciplinary appeal. Leiter continues, “Possible topics might include the faculty revolt and turmoil of the late 1960s, evolution of student life, women’s experiences at the College, African American experiences at the College, veterans at the College and/or the College during war time, Lycoming’s identity in relation to Native American history/culture, athletics at the College, and a contemporary history of the COVID-era.” Digitizing the Humanities We believe the HRC will provide a crucial enrollment tool for recruiting the brightest young minds — and more of them — to Lycoming.” - Andrew Leiter, Ph.D. 12 LYCOMING COLLEGE 2022 SPRING MAGAZINE
