News: FCLC Senior Working on DH Project Wins Prestigious Beinecke Scholarship

Cristina Vignone, a senior at Fordham College at Lincoln Center, recently won Fordham’s first Beinecke Scholarship for graduate study in the arts, humanities or social sciences, a $34,000 award she will use after she graduates in 2012 with a double major in History and Anthropology. In her junior year Vignone undertook a digital humanities project that reexamined the Salem Witch Trials through visual representations of the relationships shared by various trial participants. Vignone developed the project under the guidance of Fordham Digital Humanities Working Group member and history professor Roger Panetta. The project was presented at the Fordham University Research Fair in Spring 2011 and at the 2011 Lower New York Regional Conference for the National History Honor Society, Phi Alpha Theta, at Marist College. It was also selected for further digitization by graduate students of the Information Visualization course at the School of Library and Information Science at Indiana University. Congratulations to Cristina!
