LTC Lunch - Language, Literature, and Plague: Teaching with Data and Maps in the Humanities

How can we help students engage substantively with different forms of evidence in our disciplines? When do efforts to make our classes more interdisciplinary add to student learning, and when do they become unwieldy? Two Humanities faculty will share how they incorporate data, statistics, and maps from the 16th century to today, to help students in their courses consider questions of culture, public health, and politics. Students from these courses will share their experiences.
