Our T&T students have been busy contributing to the knowledge base in our discipline. Among their recent achievements are the following:
Linda Garrison contributed to Reading the World’s Stories: An Annotated Bibliography of International Youth Literature, edited by Annette Y. Goldsmith, sponsored by the US Board on Books for Young People. Dr. Goldsmith was Linda’s TA in Library School at FSU -she remembered Linda’s interests and asked her to contribute. The books are all award winners, originally published outside of the US, then translated and published here. It is a great resource for anyone looking for international literature.
Bartley Argo, Nicholas DeArmas, Amanda Hill, Sara Raffel, and Shelly Welch published “The Way It Used to Be: Exploring Cultural Heritage through the Augmented Reality Story of a Neighborhood Soul Food Restaurant.” Visual Ethnography 5, no. 2 (2016). Their work describes a project the students did in Dr. Underberg-Geode’s Ethnographic Storytelling and New Media seminar.
Eric Murnane & Kenton (Taylor) Howard published “Stacking Magic: The Flexible Simplicity of Analog Rules” in Fay, Ira. “Well Played–Vol. 7, No. 1.” (2018).
Carissa Baker presented at the World Research Summit for Tourism and Hospitality on December 9 and was also invited to be a visiting scholar at NHTV Breda University in the Netherlands, lecturing to their students and meeting their faculty.
