DIL Futures: Exploring the present and future of the AIIS Digital India Learning initiative
Manage episode 475569128 series 3379806
In this episode, we explore the bright and fascinating futures of the AIIS Digital India Learning initiative. Launched in 2019 as a new effort from AIIS President Sumathi Ramaswamy, the DIL program has already awarded several rounds of grants to senior scholars and students creating digital projects on India from across the spectrum of disciplines and methodologies. The initiative has funded work on everything from digital resources on urban planning, to bhakti or devotional digital archives, to image archives of 18th century South Indian textiles, and oral epics and clay modeling digital exbhits.
Joining us today to talk about the current state of the DIL initiative and its broad and promising futures, is James Nye, Director of the Digital South Asia Library and an associate of the Humanities Division at the University of Chicago; Gil Ben-Herut, Professor in the Religious Studies Department, University of South Florida; Haimonti Dutta, Associate Professor of Management Science and Systems in the School of Management at the University of Buffalo; Jajwalya Karajgikar, Applied Data Science Librarian for the University of Pennsylvania; and Deepthi Murali, Assistant Professor in the Department of History and Art History at George Mason University.
