<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><I><FONT FACE="Calibri">Remixing Rural Texas</FONT></I></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri"> is an innovative project, funded by a grant from the National Endowment of the Humanities, which will develop an interactive prototype to allow the combination of popular remix culture with academic research and citation practices. The project which is grounded on critical race narratives in rural, northeast Texas, will utilize the digital methodologies of aggregation, remixing and geomapping to enable community and student participants to collect primary materials (including video documentaries) from historically inaccessible and underrepresented communities while enabling humanities scholarship and analysis of the materials. </FONT></SPAN></P>
