    This talk with discuss the development of *Emily Dickinson's Birds: A Public Listening Project,* a digital humanities project that undertakes the identification, archiving, and un-archiving of bird sounds in Dickinson¿s text-, land-, and sky-scapes to enlarge our understanding of the relationship between Dickinson¿s bird-poems, her evolving sense of emplacement, and her intuition of the long approach of the Anthropocene through the widespread ecological changes of the Industrial Revolution. Directed by Dr. Marta Werner (English), speakers include project researchers Caroline McCraw (Digital Humanities), Rayne Broach (English), and Danielle Nasenbery (English).
