Prof. Lucht wins NEH grant for digital storytelling project

Felecia Lucht (CMLLC)'s team of WSU researchers has received a $60,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities for their project "Ethnic Layers of Detroit: Experiencing Place through Digital Storytelling."

The project entails continued development and testing in the classroom of an interactive, mobile storytelling website that allows for the creation of multimedia narratives of historic sites. This phase of the project will focus on creating narratives that illustrate the traditions and transformation of Detroit's ethnic neighborhoods, with attention to the Corktown, Chinatown, Poletown, and Heidelberg neighborhoods.
