What does the digital humanities look like when it escapes the university\u2019s ivory tower? If you\u2019re a senior living in Old Ottawa South, it might <\/em>look a bit like this!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2025\/26 MA cohort in the Specialization in Digital Humanities have been working this year with Senior Watch Old Ottawa South (SWOOS) and Dr. Amanda Montague, Postdoctoral Fellow in Community DH, to tackle a community-identified research project about social isolation and loneliness amongst seniors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The relationship building for this project started last April, when SWOOS and Dr. Montague met regularly to discuss the aims of the project and scope the research ahead of the student cohort joining us. (Read more in the July<\/a> OSCAR, p. 12<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The agreement was that students would facilitate some participatory data collection activities in community using creative arts-based methods like mapping, photography, network analysis, then analyze the data, and finally produce digital projects to share back what was learned with the community. These projects will be exhibited locally at the Old Ottawa South Community Centre this spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In September we welcomed our enthusiastic cohort of 10 graduate students (listed below):<\/p>\n\n\n\n
