DISC PROJECTS LYNCHINGS IN GEORGIA (1875-1930)
Faculty: Roberto Franzosi, Sociology
Department
DiSC project manager: Miriam Posner
Librarian team member: Erica Bruchko
Development team leader: Scott Turnbull
DiSC staff: Roger Whitson, Franky Abbott
In this project, the team will design and
create an interactive web interface for
Roberto Franzosi's research project
"Lynchings in Georgia (1875-1930)."
Franzosi has built a systematic catalogue of event characteristics for the near-400 lynching victims in Georgia, as
narrated in over 1,200 newspaper articles from over 200 national, regional, and local newspapers. Through the
coding and presentation of these newspaper narratives, the project can offer new insights into trends connecting
lynching events with implications for the broader study of lynching in U.S. history. Once complete, it will allow
visitors to explore the "who, what ,when, where, how, and why" of lynchings in Georgia during this period.
