The Big Book Field Studio is a project conceived by Dr. Jacqueline Jean Barrios, who received the Dorrance Dean’s Award for Opening the Canon as part of the Fearless Inquiries Project—a new initiative of UArizona’s College of Humanities. In Fall 2022, scholars, artists, and UArizona students produced works that reimagined Charles Dickens’ David Copperfield (1850) within the landscapes and urban contexts of Tucson. These works are part of Book of the City: Exhibiting a Southwestern Urban Humanities, an exhibition held on October 25, 2022 at MOCA Tucson as a part of the Tucson Humanities Festival.
