With this in mind, I am very excited at the variety of ways to convey ideas and even tell stories with the technology we’ve explored. In general, the connections I see between each branch of digital humanities have to do…[Read more]

I have never put too much thought into how we can warp sound to convey meaning, but the example of the “2 Trains” song was incredible, and its relation to the rest of Dr. Hutchinson’s lecture was very…[Read more]

I am particularly invested in the ways that online information is shared publicly, and am I proponent for outsourcing info-dumping to the public. With the tools to publish things digitally so readily…[Read more]

I am not very well-versed in visual art and art curation, but I was surprised at how much I was able to relate my own work to digital curation. For example, I could form collections of short texts (excluding copyright work, of course) to…[Read more]

The combination of cataloging structures is brilliant, and only really possible in a digital space. I can think about a lot of different applications of the map and timeline format, though I’m unsure of how I might utilize them in the field of literary analysis and writing.…[Read more]

I always assumed that podcasting would be a harder, or at least more expensive field to dive into, but I’m pleased that I was incorrect in that assumption. Furthermore, the fact that we have resources on campus to…[Read more]

As someone who has taken Writing for Digital Environments, I’m still blown away by the creativity of projects that can be enhanced by SEO potential, and interesting ways of presenting data. As Dr. Sheffield correctly guessed, I was very interested in the Game of Thrones script…[Read more]

Once again, I am astounded at all of the innovative projects going on around the university that aren’t necessarily publicized. While I am not by any means an expert in sound design, learning about the subtle ways it can be manipulated to affect meaning was extremely eye-opening. Even beyond sound…[Read more]
