If you have students who might be interested, both guests will meet with students to discuss their work outside of the context of their invited talks, which are later that afternoon. Feel free to let me know if you have any questions. Lunch, Karin Liebhart, Oct. 11, Room B-443 Wells Hall, 12-1pm Karin Liebhart studies how Austrian far-right movements communicate on Instagram and Twitter. Lunch, Cynthia Miller-Idriss, Oct. 29 , 12-1pm, Wells Hall, Room B-243 Cynthia Miller-Idriss has compiled a database of far-right clothing brands through the help of professional journalistic photographers and store websites selling such brands; The lunches are a chance to talk with these scholars about how they gathered and analyzed their data sets, especially for folks interested in DH, visuality or the far-right – as well as the ethical questions of grabbing social media posts or photographing protestors.
