The Scholars' Lab is pleased to announce our Spring 2012 schedule of events. In addition to our popular series of luncheon talks by our Graduate Fellows, we are pleased to welcome notable contributors to the digital humanities. In addition, Scholars' Lab specialists present another set of our popular GIS workshops.
Spring 2012 Events
Graduate Fellows Forum: Ed Triplett
Graduate Fellows Forum: Ed Triplett
Ed Triplett’s talk will describe his work on ADIMO, (the Architectural Database of Iberian Military Orders) with specific focus on the territorial and architectural consequences of the battles of Alarcos (1195) and Las Navas de Tolosa (1212). These battles represent the most significant “swings” in the fortunes of the military orders in Iberia, and thus offer an opportunity to view the tenuous ground on which the military orders stood on the frontier. While the military-religious orders will be described as the most prolific recipients of reconquered Muslim territory, this talk will use maps and photographs to offer a deeper illustration of how their architecture helped define the Christian border with Islam. Lunch will be provided.

Mapping Yourself
Curious about GPS, Google mapping, and how you can be part of the fun? Join Chris Gist and Kelly Johnston of the U.Va. Scholars’ Lab for an introduction to the magic of GPS and Google mapping. You will leave with the tools to communicate with satellites 12,000 miles overhead, make your own maps, and selectively share your cartographic masterpieces with the world.
