Developing Digital Project Assignments: Storytelling with Maps

This event has been cancelled. If you would like to learn more about incorporating maps in your class, please reach out to Kaylen Dwyer at kaylen.dwyer@tufts.edu.

Digital mapping assignments engage classrooms in critical discussions of space and place. With easy-to-use mapping tools, classes such as literature, history, film and media, and women’s, gender, and sexuality studies are visualizing archives, telling spatial stories, creating engaging exhibits, contributing to crowdsourced projects, and developing geospatial datasets.

Tisch Library implements noise zones

Posted: Wed, Sep 3rd 2025

Based on student request and how students use study spaces already, Tisch Library is piloting noise zoning this fall semester. The 2nd and 3rd floors in Tisch are collaborative spaces for group work and activity (minus the Hirsh Reading Room, which will remain a silent reading room), the 1st floor is a whisper floor, and the G level is a silent floor.

How do we define our noise zones at Tisch?
