NEH meetings and Phase 2 of the FVM project

With the Kanaka module in the final stages of polish, we are turning our attention more now to the second phase of development in the Fort Vancouver Mobile project, a module about women and domestic life in The Village in the mid-1800s. Dr. Dene Grigar, the director of the Creative Media and Digital Culture program at WSU Vancouver, is the principal investigator on that module, and she is in Washington, D.C., this week to talk to National Endowment for the Humanities staff members supporting our work as part of a $50,000 Digital Humanities Start-Up Grant. Dr. Grigar is participating in a NEH workshop about the grant and also preparing a pitch for a Summer Institute for Advanced Topics in the Digital Humanities at WSU Vancouver. She also is keeping a separate blog about the women and domestic life module here.
