About the Harvard Discovery Series

The Harvard Discovery Series brought scholars on the frontiers of digital knowledge-making to a Harvard audience in an intimate and interactive setting. From an archaeologist reconstructing tombs in virtual reality, to scholars challenging power differentials through data feminism, to a quantum astrochemist using high-performance computing to search for life among the stars, these presentations of disparate topics demonstrated the unifying potential of digital methods and tools in scholarly and pedagogical pursuits. The series went online in 2020 and was sunset in 2022.
