Open Access Week 2014 - Dr. Mark Tebeau on Open Access | ASU Libraries

"Dr. Mark Tebeau is an Associate Professor in the School of Historical, Philosophical, and Religious Studies. Dr. Tebeau's research explores the changing historical construction of cities, landscapes, and place. In particular, his work has focused on how gardens, urban monuments, and memory landscapes have been imagined in the United States and across the globe. As a public historian and digital humanist, Tebeau argues that scholars have become curators and that urbanists should reimagine the field to curate cities as living museums. In this research, he explores how place and space can be expressed, understood, and imagined in collaboration with public audiences. He is particularly interested in how digital technologies shape the expression and experience of landscape. Dr. Tebeau also believes that reimagining scholarly and public history for the digital age requires more than imaginative writing. It demands the use, adaptation, and creation of technology. Dr. Tebeau leads the development of Curatescape, a framework for mobile publishing that seeks to make open-source and/or low-cost hosted mobile tools available to scholars and curators. With funding from the NEH Office of Digital Humanities, Curatescape is being used by more than twenty cultural organizations, universities, and heritage preservation organizations to curate landscapes and museums ..."
