CITES Academic Technology Services is hosting a brown bag presentation titled “Engaged Scholarship and Digital Storytelling,” featuring Martin Wolske of the Graduate School of Library and Information Science.

Date and time: Wednesday, October 26 from 12 PM to 1 PM
Location: 23 Illini Hall

Abstract
Stories are used to entertain and educate us, and to define and preserve our cultural history. Initiatives such as the Center for Digital Storytelling, the KQED Digital Storytelling Initiative, and Story Corps have brought new attention to the value of digital storytelling by extending the reach of the storytellers and enhancing their use of new media. Join Martin Wolske for a thoughtful look at the ways in which digital storytelling has been combined with engaged scholarship as part of research and teaching at the Graduate School of Library and Information Science.
