Haunts: A Digital Humanities Institute Event
Friday, October 27, 1-5pm, UNF Carpenter Library, Room 2102 A

Come join the students and faculty of the Digital Humanities Institute for an afternoon of Halloween fun and haunted "ghost stories" by faculty and students. According to Mark Sample (2014), "The word haunt, as its origins in French make clear, refers to both a practice and a place, a physical space permeated with spectral traces. In other words, a physical space written over with stories, a chorographic space. Haunts is about the secret stories of spaces" ("Location is Not Compelling," pg. 74).

Come join us as we "haunt" the library space from 1-3pm with Halloween decorating the room with your own themed decorations! Then join us for these secret stories, some "ghost stories," if you will, from students of Dr. Christopher Baynard, Dr. Jessica Chandras, Dr. Maria Fernandez Cifuentes, Dr. Andrea Gaytan Cuesta, Dr. Constanza Lopez, Dr. Clayton McCarl, Dr. Kailin Sindelar, Dr. Jillian Smith, and Susan Swiatosz, University Librarian and Head of Special Collections, as they detail their DHI opportunities and projects from this last year!

Halloween treats will be provided! See you then!

Best,
James
