Catherine DeRose, the Engagement and Outreach Manager for the Yale Digital Humanities Lab, welcomes conversations with students about career paths for humanities (especially English) majors, graduate school, and the digital humanities (DH). In the DHLab, she meets with students and faculty for consultations, teaches workshops on data analysis and visualization, and works with DH Fellows who are thinking about how to integrate digital methods into their teaching. Prior to Yale, Catherine was at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where she received a PhD in English literature alongside a minor in Humanities Computing and Design, and taught courses on British literature and composition.

Kem Edwards


Bio:

Kem Edwards JE ’49 is not the oldest Fellow, but usually can claim to be the “oldest Member of the College present.” He can also claim to be the Oldest Living Whiffenpoof, and sings with three other not-so-old Whiffs as the Elm City Four. Over the last two decades he has audited 143 courses – Anthropology to Statistics, Yoruba hasn’t appeared on his radar. He and Phoebe enjoy Fellows dinners, betting on Yale athletics, and supporting the Phillips Fund; and looking forward to Senior/Fellows Croquet and other College events. As a College Advisor, he is pleased to march with Fellows at Commencement and see the graduation of former advisees. Four years is such a short time.
