rom 12:30 until 2:00 in the lab (room 7388.01) for presentations by Jeffrey
Binder and Teresa Ober on their projects:
Reading with Emotion in the Eighteenth Century
Jeffrey Binder\, English
This project
looks at how the “passions and humours” are represented in eighteenth-cent
ury elocution manuals—a genre of text that provides an important document o
f the way people understood the performance of emotion in this period. Its
primary focus is on the 1761 book The Art of Speaking by Ja
mes Burgh\, an influential text that uses a sophisticated visual representa
tion to tell students how to express emotion while delivering a speech. Je
ffrey is producing an online edition of this text that reproduces the full
system of annotations.
D
igital Pedagogical Tool for Teaching Research Methods
Ter
esa Ober\, Educational Psychology
This project
aims to develop a computer application currently named “Manuscript Builder
” to be used for teaching students how to design sound research outlines. U
ltimately\, the project’s mission is to promote knowledge of sound research
methodology in psychology and the social sciences. The computer applicatio
n may be used as an instructional resource across a variety of courses\, in
cluding but not limited to courses in research methods in psychology\, stat
istics\, and the behavioral and social sciences more broadly speaking.

hristina Katopodis\, English
The Walden Sounds
cape project is my effort to share the sounds at Walden Pond in Concord\, M
A with any interested reader of Henry David Thoreau’s Walden in the form of
an immersive website experience. I’m recording sounds at the pond in all f
our seasons\, and creating companion stop-motion animation videos of a walk
around the pond in each season. This project calls attention to the musica
lity of Thoreau’s philosophy and writing\, and serves to immerse readers of
Walden in the visual and sonic landscape of the pond. The project is part
of my dissertation on the impact of sound and sonic vibrations on the Ameri
can Transcendentalists\, who were interested in maintaining harmony with na
ture (in a musical sense of active\, reciprocal participation) and who unde
rstood music to be an experience not limited to the hearing world.
Modeling the paleodistribution o
f baboons and vervets: A primate model for early modern human biogeography<
/i>
Natalie O’Shea\, Anthropology
Early modern human demography and biogeography are related to a wide
range of important issues in modern human origins research\, from the earl
iest appearance of markers of symbolic culture in the archaeological record
to the global dispersal of Homo sapiens by at least 60 thousand y
ears ago. However\, our ability to discern ancient patterns of population s
tructure from the fossil record and patterns of variation in extant populat
ions is limited. Patterns of genetic and morphological variation in other w
idely-distributed\, ecologically-flexible primates can provide useful insig
hts into past human demographic and biogeographic changes. Baboons (genus <
em>Papio) and vervets (genus Chlorocebus) are broadly co-dist
ributed with each other and human populations in woodland and savannah habi
tats across sub-Saharan Africa\, making them good ecological model taxa for
early modern human populations. This study will utilize recently developed
species distribution modeling techniques to map the current and past distr
ibutions of baboons and vervets to identify regions in which populations of
the earliest members of our species may have persisted through difficult c
limate conditions in Africa over the past 130 thousand years. Overall\, the
results of this work will provide a model for early modern human demograph
y and biogeography and also expand our understanding of African faunal evol
ution more broadly.

role in this project\, as it represents an extraordinary\, previously unear

Sheehan M
oore\, Anthropology:
This project examines images that claim repr
esentational authority over future landscapes in southern Louisiana. These
images include maps and digital renderings of disappeared coastlines\, subs
iding lands\, and underwater Main Streets – topog
raphies that do not yet exist but that nevertheless demand action in the pr
esent. They enter circulation in urgent news stories and fifty year urban m
aster plans\, and they are magnets for words like ‘resilience’ and ‘retreat
.’ At public planning meetings\, predictive maps that stage the parish land
scape over coming decades are important guides for community decision-makin
g. In order to better understand these risky images\, the futures they purp
ort to represent\, and their effects in the present\, this project asks aft
er the kinds of data sets and attendant assumptions that go into mapping th
ese not-yet-existent landscapes. What inclusions and omissions make them po
ssible? What contingencies or uncertainties are elided? These questions can
help us understand how representations of climate futures set the paramete
rs for action and imagination.

Federico Di Pasqua\, Classics:
Introduction to Classical Cultures is a video-podcast series about the
Classics that features motion graphic design to provide a smart and enjoyab
le overview of Greek and Latin literature. The series is aimed to update th
e teaching approach of the classics\, bringing it closer to the rest of the
humanities. Subjects of the podcast-series will be the works of the most i
mportant Classical authors\, which largely coincide with the course “Classi
cal Cultures” offered in most universities in the United States. The six vi
deos—three about Greek authors\, three about Latin authors—will cover the
major literary genres of antiquity and will be in chronological order\, so
as to offer a general overview on Classical culture.

New York Public Library\, Google and other clients.
and
Anders Alex Wallace\, Anthropology:
Fro
m Berlin to Beijing\, men are joining seduction communities (charm schools)
to learn skills in dating women. These communities raise questions of inti
macy\, consent\, and authenticity as problems for men who learn techniques
of social persuasion as they seek to attract women and transform their pers
onal identities. By displacing sexual inhibitions\, these communities focus
on developing forms of social capital through “weak ties” (Putnam 2000) th
at allow men to feel a sense of belonging in impersonal urban environments.
This project uses digital software for text mining and topic modeling of b
ig data to find out how men are developing an embodied sense of masculine i
dentity through standardized training in seduction skills. Conducting stati
stical analyses and comparisons among prescriptive texts (ebooks and seduct
ion manuals) with descriptive accounts (digitally published diaries) of use
rs’ experiences and mishaps in striving to embody so-called “alpha masculin
ity\,” this project aims to discover what kinds of social intimacies follow
from the labor of dating consultants\, and what happens to those men who b
uild social communities—both online and in real life—around their practices
. For which men do seduction skills come to be thought of as integral to th
eir self-fashioning? How does rationalizing intimacy create new forms of po
wer and dependency between men? What do seduction communities reveal about
the vulnerabilities and frailties of masculinity today? This research is be
ing developed for public view using Scalar\, a multimedia storytelling plat
form. Please visit the website for more information.
