This outstanding achievement highlights the students\u2019 capabilities and the program\u2019s broad scope of work, enhancing our visibility across research communities. <\/p>\n<hr class=\"my-4\">\n<h2 class=\"font-condensed mb-3 text-primary-aw\">T&amp;T in Print<\/h2>\n<p>T&amp;T students also published a remarkable amount of innovative research across various fields this year, with seven articles, five conference proceedings, four book chapters and a co-authored book. Topics included digital remediations of history, such as Evan Wallace\u2019s publication \u201cA lens most obscured: Western perceptions of contemporary Russian medievalisms\u201d and Kirk Lundblade\u2019s work \u201cIf Your Empire Last More Than Two Centuries, You May Need to Speak to Your Doctor: The Effects of Historicizing Discourse in the Crusader Kings 3 Community.\u201d Others explored analog games, with Jack Murray\u2019s \u201cIgniting the Spark: Analog to Digital Adaptation of Narrative Affect and Player Subjectivity in Magic: The Gathering\u201d and Mirek Stolee\u2019s \u201cFrom Boards and Chits to Circuit Boards and Bits.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Student research delved into questions of inequality, including Lauren Rouse\u2019s chapter \u201cVoltron: Legendary Defender and Compulsory Ablebodiness\u201d and Abigail Moreshead\u2019s article \u201cGender and Para-Academic Labor: The Invisible Translators of Old English and their Legacy in Digital Humanities.\u201d Additionally, students made contributions in the field of education, with Keidra Daniels Navaroli coauthoring the art history textbook <i>This Is America: Re-Viewing the Art of the United States<\/i> with faculty member Keri Watson and Jennifer Morin publishing \u201cClosing the Soft Skills Gap: A Case in Leveraging Technology and the \u201cFlipped\u201d Classroom with a Programmatic Approach to Soft Skill Development in Business Education.\u201d Some students also engaged in public-facing scholarship, with Alessandra Zinicola Lopez writing the blog post &#8220;To make mangoes of melons: Using the evolution of form and senses to understand historical cookbooks,\u201d and Jim Stoddard joining the <a href=\"https:\/\/stars.library.ucf.edu\/knightshistorycast\/27\/\">Knights History podcast<\/a> to talk about his work.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"my-4\">\n<h2 class=\"font-condensed mb-3 text-primary-aw\">T&amp;T in Collaboration<\/h2>\n<p>This year, T&amp;T students participated in multiple large-scale collaborative projects. They helped build the CAH*LAB project, a series of workshops and resources aimed at promoting the adoption of digital humanities tools and practices across the college led by faculty member Emily Johnson. They were part of a research team awarded a grant from Meta to investigate the causes of (and solutions for) racial inequality on social media, under the leadership of faculty member Mel Stanfill. They developed a new tool for encouraging experimentation with mixed reality interactive narratives called TwineSpace, led by T&amp;T director Anastasia Salter. A team of four students engaged in critical making created a zine titled \u201cResisting in and through the Material,\u201d envisioning the future of creative research methods using tools ranging from typewriters and textiles to mixed-media comics. With the program winning a UCF Technology Fee grant to refresh the computer lab space in summer 2023 with advanced technology to support innovative research and creative scholarship, these kinds of projects will undoubtedly continue to thrive in the coming years. <\/p>\n<p><span class=\"lead mt-5 my-4\">\u2014 Anastasia Salter, director<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"jumbotron jumbotron-fluid bg-inverse-t-3 mb-0 py-5\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tstyle=\"background: rgb(0,0,0);background: linear-gradient(180deg, rgba(62,60,59,1) 0%, rgba(0,0,0,1) 100%);\"\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"container\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\n<h2 class=\"display-4 letter-spacing-4 text-uppercase text-center mb-5\">Highlights<\/h2>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"row\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\n<!-- -
