- From Prof. Jeremy Douglass: “The Transverse Reading Project is listed in FRAP (https://urca.ucsb.edu/frap/310), and is currently taking undergrad RAs for course credit — or for hourly — to work on encoding the shapes of interactive narratives and graphic narratives. It has traditionally involved work with UCSB Library Special Collections or a collection in the Digital Arts and Humanities Commons, but we are transitioning to a digital / remote work system.”
