Blockbuster Hour - Getting to Know Tisch's Film Collection

Did you know that Tisch Library has over 15,000 titles on DVD and BluRay? In an age where a handful of streaming services control the availability of an ever-shifting catalogue of film and TV, the importance of physical media as a means of access to movies and television is more apparent than ever. This workshop will provide an overview of the variety of titles Tisch has and explain how you can access and explore the film collection, even if you don’t have a DVD/Blu-Ray player.

Developing Digital Project Assignments: Storytelling with Maps

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.

Digital Scholarship Conversations

Tisch Library is hosting a Digital Scholarship Conversations series, a monthly brown bag open to faculty and graduate students. Each conversation will focus on a different topic, helping us share ideas and build community around the intersection of digital technology and our research and teaching.

Discussion topic/guest speaker: Mat Rappaport (Professor of the Practice), Film & Media Studies

This event will be hybrid. Join us onsite at Tisch Library in the Austin Room.

Crafting with Data: Weaving 101

“Crafting with Data” explores data analysis and visualization from a data feminist perspective, examining methods for critical making and physicalization through arts and crafts. Data physicalizations create tangible, embodied representations of data, engaging both creators and audiences in the labor behind the data, its contents, and presentation.
