Digital Humanities

Two people sit in gray chairs with dark wooden legs on a small stage with wooden floors. There is a round coffee table made of dark and light wood between them on which is a microphone with a pop filter, papers to which the speakers are referring, and two bottles of water. Amy DeRogatis is on the left, speaking and smiling slightly as she looks down at her paper and talks into the microphone. On the right is Isaac Weiner, grinning broadly as if laughing. On the left of the stage is a fake white tree with cotton "snow" underneath and white lights on the branches. The wall behind the stage is white, broken up with gray/blue squares of fabric designed to dampen the sound. The microphone is attached by a wire that goes to an amplifier that is just visible on the right, behind Isaac. There is a blue light coming out of the bottom of the amplifier.
