What does digital history offer that is new? Can it change our image of the past? Does it change how scholars and readers interact with the past? Stanford Public Humanities invites you to a virtual conversation with Stanford Professor of Classics Giovanna Ceserani, the author of A World Made by Travel: the digital Grand Tour which is an open access publication that combines —in dynamic format— original research with data and visualizations about the lives and journeys of 6,007 historical travelers to eighteenth-century Italy, the journey known then and since as the Grand Tour. Giovanna will be in conversation with art history professor and interim co-director of the Public Humanities, Emanuele Lugli.
