Grace Hale has won an NEH grant from the Department of Public Programs for a Digital Humanities project Participatory Media. She will examine community documentary making in the 1960s and ‘70s.

She will be working with a former UVA American Studies undergrad, Lauren Tilton, now a PhD candidate at Yale. As Grace notes, Lauren "was one of those amazing UVA students who do everything--she was the head of student government and lived on the lawn AND was a terrific student."
