"Catholic college dean cites Jesuit mission in support of ‘digital transgender archives’"
lifesitenews.com A College of the Holy Cross professor’s project to develop a “Digital Transgender Archive” (DTA) was recently hailed by Dr. Margaret Freije, dean of the College, who cited the Jesuit mission of Holy Cross in support of the initiative, according to the College’s magazine. Asked whether such an initiative could conflict with the College’s Catholic identity, a Holy Cross spokesperson simply verified the dean’s support for the project. Assistant professor of English K.J. Rawson received an $84,700 grant earlier this year from the American Council of Learned Societies’ Digital Innovation Friendship in order to build a transgender archive, which will reportedly be “the first digital archival collection of transgender-related historical materials.” The project reportedly “aims to develop a database of information on the works, studies and experiences of transgender individuals and the social movement to advance their rights” and will “put all sorts of people, from seasoned researchers to inquisitive youth, in quick and easy contact with primary historical materials so that they can better understand transgender phenomena.” “Given our mission as a Jesuit undergraduate college and our commitments to scholarly excellence and engagement with the world, it seems particularly appropriate that this work will allow our undergraduates to pursue original scholarship in digital humanities and will allow them to engage with a community that historically has been marginalized and excluded,” Dean Freije, who also serves as vice president for academic affairs, told the magazine. Rawson similarly told the magazine that “the core Jesuit qualities that distinguish Holy Cross” serve to inspire the initiative and stated that “Holy Cross encourages every member of our community to be passionate about truth, promote social justice and foster dialog in order to more deeply understand and respect diverse experiences.” to read more: lifesitenews.com
