This summer, my favorite lab🧪📚💻✍🏿, the GPP, finalized a two-year long study of little magazines! The research fellows who joined for the summer were absolutely brilliant, and I’m glad to have been able to work with so many folks to conclude this long and exciting project 💫
This summer we had a great time working with our student research fellows & library fellow on our African little mag project. We explored how digital tools enhance our study of poetry & developed visualizations of our findings, which will be valuable for researchers & students!
