The SASAH Digital Lectures are a new initiative to showcase public multimedia digital lectures by the Research Fellows of SASAH. (We intend eventually to feature a broader selection of researchers and teachers in the Faculty as well.) This venture is an exercise in digital public humanities, but it is also very much intended as a tool for advocacy for the humanities, recruitment for SASAH and A&H, and outreach to secondary school educators. ...this resource represents a potentially important way of making a broader public, as well as potential students and faculty, aware of the really innovative work in research and teaching that we undertake here in Arts & Humanities! The current resource features three digital lectures, by Joel Faflak, Kelly Olson, and Laurence de Looze. These will be further developed over time with the addition of more interactive elements, and we hope to add about 4 new lectures each year to the site. In particular, check out the wonderful video segments shot and edited by Alyssa Evetts, with assistance from Michael Scolaro; I think that these will make clear the value that this site may have in the future as a recruitment tool.
