About the Workshops
About the Keynote Speaker
Dr. Lucia Binotti is a cultural historian, an X-Humanist and an EdTech entrepreneur whose most recent academic work focuses on mapping the institutional and curricular implications of integrating emerging-technologies as methodological and experimental tools for the advancement of the new Humanities. Binotti teaches about Intellectual History, Cultural and Socio-Linguistics, and the Renaissance. Her books and articles are recognized for close analysis of the printed communication that evolved in response to technological advances during the early modern period in Italy and Spain, and as cultural discussions about how the printing press changed learning, thinking, and culture in the Early Modern period.
In 2003, Binotti designed and has since directed one of the country’s top-ranked study abroad programs, the Honors Carolina Summer Renaissance in Rome, renowned for its unique technology enabled pedagogy and its rigorously classic yet fully experiential curriculum. In 2011, Gnovis—Binotti’s project on data visualization for Humanities research—was awarded an NEH Digital Innovation Startup grant. Her socially engaged digital socio-linguistics project Entiendelo was supported by a Mellon Digital Innovations Grant in 2014.
Binotti is the founder of two EdTech startups. RoadAmico (2014-2018) was a web-based platform that added a digital spatial dimension and digital co-collaborative features to sets of conventionally organized learning materials. Amirabilia is the world’s first adventure-based learning platform for experiential education. Amirabilia harnesses the power of emerging technologies to create immersive learning environments and builds unparalleled geo-located learning adventures that bring real-world and digital objects, places, and people to life.
