The Heresies Project at Bucknell University is a holistic research experience dedicated to the recovery, recuperation, and preservation of the Heresies journal. Like many other individuals whose groundbreaking ideas, artworks, and perspectives have been overlooked because of their gender, race, sexual orientation, or class, many of Heresies’ contributors are difficult to find in mainstream narratives. We aim to illuminate these marginalized voices through collaborative digital humanities research. Through the creation of accessible spaces for the circulation of feminist ideology in digital humanities research production, we advance these contributors’ presences within academia. Our efforts are extremely pertinent: we’re expanding art history and political canons beyond a constraining patriarchal framework.
Bucknell Heretics:
Heresies at Bucknell is a collective in our own right: a group of students, faculty, and staff with interests and talents that together embody the principles that brought the original Heresies Collective together in 1977.
