With the advent of new media tools, the ways in which we analyze and appreciate texts is quickly evolving. At the School of Writing, Literature, and Film, we explore the utility of these new tools, apply them to our scholarship, and rely upon them to represent everything from medieval literary history to the contemporary novel. On our media channel we showcase both student and faculty projects, including YouTube series, podcasts, and digital humanities projects. We continue to expand the types of media with which we are engaged, and SWLF has recently revamped the Smith Media Lab in Moreland Hall to help support our students and faculty indulge their new media curiosities.
