Explore Pacific and Central Valley history, sponsored by the University 图书馆. 

The Digital Humanities Summer 奖学金 bring together students and faculty from a variety of disciplines to create technology-enhanced, 面向公众的人文项目. Spend five weeks in an intense and fast-paced but fun experience that will challenge you to develop new skills and collaborate across fields of study. This summer the fellowships consist of two separate projects related by the topic of forced Japanese American relocation and its impact on communities at Pacific and the Central Valley. Applicants are invited to select either offering.

The two projects will be conducted in person, 每周工作40小时, and run concurrently during Summer Session III, 7月25日至8月26日. All participants will have access to the library’s array of re搜索 and technology resources and integrated support from multiple faculty and subject area experts. All undergraduates from any major or program are eligible.

从移民到被拘禁者:
Walnut Grove’s Japanese Historic District

教师领导:Joshua Salyers

Walnut Grove Japanese American Historic district served as a center for social and economic life for Japanese agricultural laborers in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta from the late 1800s until the relocation of Japanese Americans and people of Japanese descent to internment camps during World War II. Originally a Chinese immigrant community, Japanese laborers created their own nihonmachi (Japantown) in Walnut Grove after a fire in 1915 offered an opportunity for Japanese architects to design buildings in this district for the Japanese community. The development and removal of Walnut Grove’s Japanese and Japanese American populations is intricately tied to the histories of labor, 民族矛盾, 以及美国的政治. This fellowship team will produce a digital reconstruction of Walnut Grove’s Japanese American Historic district that tells the story of this community’s adaptations to space, 种族和迁移.

健康 & 电阻:
创造性地应对危机

系主任:Lisa Cooperman

Networks of formal and informal organizations on the Pacific campus have historically provided support for students from underrepresented groups. In 1942 Pacific students of Japanese American descent found their identities questioned and their lives disrupted by the forced relocation mandated by the President Roosevelt’s Executive Order. This fellowship team will re搜索 the strategies students used to cope with this catastrophic situation and apply them to the present using updated technology and insights gleaned from the contemporary dislocation of the pandemic. This year’s project will create new content for an app-driven interactive experience connecting Pacific students from the past to the present through community building as a resilient and productive response to stress.

老虎大步:与我同行, Summer 奖学金 2021 

This fellowship provided me with countless opportunities for growth as a student and collaborator. Working on something very different from traditional coursework with 5 other committed team members created a wonderful learning environment for the 5-week session. 最重要的是, the project resulted in a final product that is first of its kind, which is something you don’t often get to say.

小马尼拉 Recreated, Summer 奖学金 2017 

It was this project and a re搜索 experiences for undergraduates (REU) I did in Belize that really connected everything for me. It was especially powerful to learn [about 小马尼拉] through the oral history process and being able to interview Manongs and the children and wives of Manongs, and hear first-hand what 小马尼拉, 以及随后的破坏, 是为了他们的社区.

老虎大步:与我同行

Student-led investigations into the cultural histories of the Stockton campus. 研究 revealed a theme of student driven initiatives that propelled social change. To connect classmates past and present with their findings, the fellows devised a phone app for an augmented reality walking tour of selected campus sites.

Carnival or Cathedral: The Fate of the National Parks, 1929

This fellowship began the development of a Reacting To The Past (RTTP) educational game for college-aged students to learn about the creation and management of the United States National Parks – “America’s Best Idea.”

小马尼拉重现(VR)

选择历史专业的学生, 平面艺术, and computer science collaborated to bring the lost landscape of Stockton’s 小马尼拉 to life through digital mapping and 3D model reconstruction. These students worked with local Filipino community institutions, like the 小马尼拉 Foundation and the Filipino American National Historical Society, and interviewed community members to tell the story of this community in a gaming environment.
