Cultural Geography of Allen Island<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Cultural Geography of Allen Island<\/span><\/i> is a digital humanities project, seeded in an American Studies course of the same name (AM226). Nine members of the project team visited the island to do geographical fieldwork\u2014walking the island, taking photographs, and conducting landscape analyses. The group included seven student researchers (Namita Bhattacharya, Andrew DeStaebler, Greg Katz, Danny Lehman, Marla Montoya, Luke Rector, and Chang Zhang), Isabel Friedman (a student digital fellow from Digital Maine<\/a>), Jason Parkhill (Director of Academic ITS), and Ben Lisle (Visiting Assistant Professor in American Studies). Photographer Heather Perry<\/a> joined us to document the trip for Colby Communications.<\/span><\/p>\n
