  The digital humanities is a critical tool for connecting students to historical investigation and racial formation. As a professor of Chican@ Studies at UCLA, my courses build upon an interdisciplinary list of readings and multimedia sources. The projects highlighted here examine the ways race and ethnicity are embedded in 21st century technologies and seek to build students' digital literacy. Through project-based learning assignments--including collaborative maps, blogs, and multimedia projection--students are encouraged to become active agents in the digital landscape. 
  
  My training at the Institute for Media Literacy at the USC Cinema School (including "Teaching with Digital Media," "Digital Pedagogies," and "Digital Media Tools and Tactics") serves as a foundation to this work. I have continued to build my digital literacy through GIS training at Yale and UCLA, as a participant in THATCamp, and presenting on the uses of digital media in the classroom at the American Studies Association, the National Council on Public History, and the Huntington-USC Institute on California and the West. In doing so, I seek to guide students through the process of writing, organizing, and sharing public facing projects.

• 1 2016-05-24T22:35:51-07:00 Digital Pop-Up: Latin@ Mobility in California History 4 Media and Narrative plain 2016-05-24T22:43:49-07:00 Latino/a Mobility in California History is a collaborative website designed by the students of HIST/ERM 129 at Yale University. This course investigated 20th century California history with an emphasis on Latino/a mobility. Course themes included the right to mobility in the American West, ethnic quarantine, deportation, cars and leisure, freeways, and mobile imaginaries.
  
  Through the practices of blogging, digital curation, and primary historical research, we combined traditional historical methods with new media to ask how Latino/a mobility--as practiced, policed, and perceived--has intersected with race, gender, and class to produce varying life experiences in California and beyond. You are invited to tour our digital exhibit, Latina and Latino Mobility in 20th Century California, and visit images from our multimedia Pop-Up installation. 
  
  The open-air installation was based on our web exhibit. Using Latino/a histories of migration as its foundation, the exhibit explored the ways emergent technologies change how research is done and who it is done for. Audience members were asked to leave feedback through a variety of mediums, including Twitter at #CALatino. An archive of these tweets was created through Storify.
