2019 CDSC Summer Fellows Showcase with Molly Carney, Jeremiah Sataraka, and Brian Stack.
Tuesday, October 1, 3-4 p.m., CDSC, 4th floor Holland Library
For the fourth year, the CDSC sponsored three fellowship projects at the WSU Pullman campus. The six-week summer fellowships offer faculty and graduate students planning assistance along with technical training for projects that use digital tools, technologies, or platforms to develop research and teaching agendas. The 2019 Summer Fellows were selected from a competitive pool of applicants to pursue projects that develop digital pedagogy and online teaching resources. We will showcase their work with a public presentation of their research. Light refreshments will be served.
Molly Carney is a PhD candidate in the Department of Anthropology. Broadly, she is an environmental archaeologist, with research interests in human experiences within both natural and built environments and past human-plant relationships. Her fellowship project created an online digital ethnobotanical database which documents some of the root and bulb foods that were and continue to be used by Columbia Plateau cultural groups. She plans on making this database a career project, and continuing to update and document the website with information on both traditional and contemporary ethnobotanical knowledge.
Jeremiah Cho Sataraka is a PhD candidate in the Cultural Studies and Social Thought in Education program. He is from Tacoma, WA with parents from South Korea and American Samoa. After receiving his bachelor’s degree from Whitworth University through the Act Six Leadership & Scholarship Initiative, he worked for Act Six through AmeriCorps, the Posse Foundation in Chicago and at Whitworth University. His dissertation focuses on developing a new theoretical framework called Ocean Critical Race Theory. Jeremiah’s digital project focuses on highlighting the stories of queer and trans Pacific Islanders.
Brian Stack is a fourth year PhD candidate in history at Washington State University. He also completed his MA in history at WSU. His research has focused on sexuality, animal abuse, and local and university histories. As a graduate student he has worked to bring history to the broader public through creating a graduate student history blog which has published on local, national, and international histories. Brian’s project was the creation of the Palouse LGBTQ History Project, a website digitizing and publicizing queer local history in the region.
