Revisited: BCNM 2016 Open House
We were thrilled to welcome almost a hundred students, faculty, staff, and friends of BCNM to our 2016 new media Open House on August 23rd! As always, the conversations were deeply engaging and we were excited to find new possibilities for collaborations across the disciplines. We were also pleased to welcome representatives from the New Media Working Group, Digital Humanities at Berkeley, the Dialogic Ethnographies Working Group, the Global Urban Humanities Initiative, and the D-Lab to speak more about their programs and share the diverse ecology of new media activities taking place on campus.
