Matthew K. Gold ’95

Matthew K. Gold ’95, assistant professor of English at New York City College of Technology, CUNY, received a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) for his innovative digital humanities project, “Looking for Whitman: The Poetry of Place in the Life and Work of Walt Whitman.” The project involves students and professors from four colleges (CUNY, New York University, University of Mary Washington, and Rutgers University, Camden), each of which is located in an area central to Whitman’s life and work. Using social networking technology and an open-source Web site, students will share their written, photographic, and video responses to Whitman’s work. The project was highlighted in the Chronicle of Higher Education.
