DeBoer and Plotnick receive Eastman Residency Award
Associate professors Stephanie DeBoer and Rachel Plotnick will spend five days at the IU-owned Eastman property on Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts as recipients of Eastman Residency Awards.
The award supports IU faculty in the arts and humanities by providing residencies from one to three weeks on the Eastman property and includes a $500 travel stipend. The residency supports individual faculty projects, small research team projects, and cross-disciplinary team meetings or symposia.
DeBoer and Plotnick are two members of the AI/Digital Futures team that will attend the residency as a group. The highly interdisciplinary team currently studies how AI intersects with issues such as creativity, improvisation, communication, and the digital future from a humanistic perspective. The team also considers the ethical issues AI brings into question.
DeBoer and Plotnick will participate in both collaborative and individual work during the residency in late September.
