Digital Humanities Faculty Workshop Nov 13, "Hearing US Presidential Candidates in the Digital Age: The Trax on the Trail Project"

Digital Humanities Collaborative Monday November 4, 2024

The Digital Humanities Collaborative hopes you will join us at our upcoming faculty workshop led by Dr. Gorzelany-Mostak, "Hearing US Presidential Candidates in the Digital Age: The Trax on the Trail Project."

Bring your laptop or other devices on Nov. 13, 11 a.m. to noon, Library 376. Please register.

Founded at Georgia College & State University in 2015, Trax on the Trail is a website and research project devoted to the study of U.S. presidential campaign music. The cornerstone of this endeavor is Trail Trax, a database where researchers track, catalogue and analyze discrete instances of music on the trail-at rallies, conventions, fundraisers and across social media platforms. This workshop will feature a demonstration of this database's capabilities and a discussion of its growing significance as a digital repository and resource for the study of sound as an instrument of political persuasion.

Dana Gorzelany-Mostak is associate professor of Music, founder of Trax on the Trail and a 2024-25 DHC faculty fellow.

This event is co-organized by the Center for Teaching & Learning.
