Provost Pamela Whitten touts digital humanities at UGA, including programs associated with the Willson Center’s DigiLab.

The Willson Center is profiled as a national model for fostering successful humanities communities as part of a new initiative by the National Humanities Alliance Foundation, the supporting foundation of the National Humanities Alliance.

The Willson Center, in partnership with the University of Georgia Libraries and the University of Georgia Press, will launch its new Digital Humanities Lab on the third floor of the main library as part of “DIGI@UGA” Day April 17.

Mapping Occupation, a recently launched web-based project by University of Georgia and City University of New York historians, provides the first detailed look at where the United States sent its troops to occupy the South after the American Civil War.

Douglas A. Blackmon, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of “Slavery by Another Name: The Re-Enslavement of Black Americans from the Civil War to World War II,” will visit the University of Georgia for a talk on April 2 at 4 p.m. in the Larry Walker Room of Dean Rusk Hall.

Spread over five city blocks and dozens of venues, Slingshot spotlights international, national, and local acts on stage, boundary pushing artworks throughout the urban environment, and tech talks with leading innovators.

Through the generosity of Jane Willson, our Board of Friends and individual donors, and with support from the Office of the President and the Office of the Vice President for Research, the Willson Center has relocated to a historically renovated two-story house at 1260 South Lumpkin Street.
