Featured project
How would a map of Palestinian culture look like? The world system of literary production for Palestinians has been globally spread out since the Nakba (1948) and their dispersion throughout the Arab and Western world (the shatāt). Mapping diasporic or exilic literature begs a global perspective as well as a dynamic tool that can track movement and change across time and space. This Digital Humanities project visually maps the circulation, international movement, and (im)mobility of Palestinian authors and specific Palestinian texts.
Elias Aceves
HRI Fellow
Elias Aceves is currently an undergraduate at Stanford, hoping to double major in Economics and Mathematics. Poverty, disparity, and development studies have always been at the forefront of his mind. He is interested in addressing such issues, along with incorporating methodologies which are not common in economics. Whether it is looking to incorporate neocolonial history to the Global South’s underdevelopment, or how race, gender, and sexuality influence one’s class and their mobility, Elias has always sought to address inequities discussed within economics through more ways than time series, regressions, and models (but he doesn’t mind doing that either!). In his free time, he likes to run, paint, or watch A24 Movies.
