Sylvia Fernández-Quintanilla, an assistant professor of public and digital humanities, has been awarded a two-year, $150,000 Mellon Foundation planning grant to establish the Transborder Digital Humanities Center-Consortium (TBDH). This innovative project will promote transdisciplinary and translingual research and teaching rooted in transborder thinking and digital humanities. Equally as important, this work will create new opportunities for collaboration and education, allowing educators to better understand and engage with the social justice issues that impact borderland communities in the Americas.
The TBDH will serve as an interdisciplinary hub for research, teaching and community engagement focused on borderland studies across the Americas. As a collaborative initiative, the TBDH will bring together scholars, students and community partners to explore and document the histories, cultures and lived experiences of transborder communities.
