The Digital Media Project (DMP)
The Digital Media Project supports teaching and research in Digital Media Studies by centrally locating state of the art technology and expertise for teachers, students, and scholars in the Department of English. Our purpose is to lead in the sustained re-imagining of teaching, learning, and research across a variety of areas in English studies including: rhetoric/composition/literacy, literature, film, folklore, narrative theory, critical theory, creative writing, and disability studies. The aim of the DMP is to continually re-examine and re-imagine new forms of composing, literacy, and communication in the creation of knowledge in scholarly endeavors and learning environments. The DMP invites students, teachers, and scholars in literature, critical theory, rhetoric/composition/literacy, film, folklore, narrative theory, creative writing, disability studies, to explore the use of digital media in the creation of knowledge in their scholarly endeavors.
The DMP provides the following support for teachers, graduate scholars, and students:
