Christopher Oakley and Michelle A. Krowl will explore how interdisciplinary research and the digital humanities advance our understanding of Abraham Lincoln’s life and legacy. Krowl, the curator of the Abraham Lincoln Papers at the Library of Congress, has experienced first-hand the impact of digitization on the preservation and use of library collections. Oakley leads "The Virtual Lincoln Project" at the University of North Carolina Asheville, where he and his students created a realistic, digital representation of Abraham Lincoln delivering the Gettysburg Address. Oakley’s lecture explores the digital methods that helped him locate the precise location where Lincoln delivered his famous speech in Gettysburg.

The Visual Arts Gallery presents "A Public Commons," a new and experiment exhibition by Service Works.

These conversations are far from new, nor are they any less thoughtful or virulent than in times past. What is vastly different is voices previously silenced are now engaged.
