cREDITS and Acknowledgements
As part of our Digital Publishing Pilot, the 2014 onsite exhibit, “Objects of Affection” has been recast as a digital storytelling project. Working with our donor funded Digital Publishing Research Fellow, jaime ding, the project aims to enhance access to Cal Poly scholarship through a digitally immersive, interactive system that focuses on collaboration, accessible approaches, and recognition of individuals’ places within structural systems. This structural solution brings inclusive practices, equity, and justice to the forefront of scholarly publishing at Cal Poly — centering historically underrepresented identities, perspectives, and creativity.
We gratefully acknowledge the work of students, staff, and faculty, and sponsors whose work we have built upon, whos work created the 2014 onsite exhibit “Objects of Affection” and was the basis of this digital retelling.
