Comment on Workshop on building an online professional persona by Building a Professional Persona Online « On public humanities

Building a Professional Persona Online « On public humanities — Sun, 21 Oct 2012 23:35:59 +0000

[…] It’s important for new and emerging professionals to create and manage their web personas, their personal brands. It’s a way to meet people and keep up with ongoing discussions in your field. It’s also essential in finding job opportunities and getting hired. This workshop will introduce the professional use of twitter, blogs, networking tools like LinkedIn and Academia.edu, online portfolio tools like wix.com, and sharing sites like scribd.com and slideshare.net. Aimed at academic and public humanists. For more information, see our blog post. […]

Comment on Notes from “Regular Expressions, Text Processing, and Web Scraping” Workshop by Jadrian

Jadrian — Sat, 20 Oct 2012 23:45:50 +0000

Thanks Emily! I’m currently working on thoroughly annotating the full transcript of the commands I typed into the terminal during the workshop. This includes all the regular expression examples, the demonstration of the Pitchfork scraper, and the word-frequency stuff we did at the end with the Latin document someone volunteered. That’ll be posted, along with some other goodies, on the workshop web page once I’m finished.

Paul et al – I haven’t done any digital story telling projects, but am interested in learning about tools, and brainstorming out from a digital storytelling project to think about how it might connect to a broader community engagement strategy at a museum or a university.

I’m currently interested in extremely short fiction, like 6 word stories, and using Twitter as a storytelling medium. 140MAX was recently held in Quebec, the Guardian challenged authors to write 140 character novels. Today Twitter announced it’s having a 5 day twitter fiction festival #twitterfiction

blog.twitter.com/2012/10/announcing-twitter-fiction-festival.html

Short poetry (haiku, even limericks) works because of the built in formalism and ability for wordplay. Is 140 character prose effective?

I made an interactive art installation, Fibbly, that also serves as a mathematical research tool, and I’ve used it for elementary education outreach, too. It’s not very DH-ey, but it’s cool and digital and I’ve had surprising success engaging young people with it too.

Hopefully the presentation machine will be running a good browser on a Mac or Linux system; Fibbly seems to choke on Windows.

Thanks for the encouragement everybody. I’m interested in knowing if there are specific media you’re curious about using in story telling. For (a non-exhaustive) example, have you done any audio podcasts, screencasts, any kind of animation or used a more recent social media tool such as Facebook, twitter, foursquare to tell a story?

I was trying to make an interactive version of the syllabus for my World Literature class using Neatline/Omeka (the course gimmick is “Literature in the City”). After spending a bit too much of my own time plugging in data and figuring out how to work Neatline (it is still a bit finicky in places), I realized:

Why in the world am I not having my current students create this resource for themselves—and for those who will be taking the course in the future? DH duh. So that’s one in-class project we’ll be starting in the weeks to come.

Comment on Network Analysis in the Humanities: New Kinds of Networks (or Analysis)? by Mahek Sabharwal

stronge — Tue, 16 Oct 2012 14:48:33 +0000

This is a great proposal. I’ve encountered this situation in my own research, and the process in transitioning from exploratory analysis to an appropriate theoretical framework and structure for the final analysis has involved a lot of blindly feeling my way towards that end result.

stronge — Tue, 16 Oct 2012 14:44:38 +0000

This sounds like a fantastic session! I would like to second this idea, particularly as it is not specific to video production. Many of the digital storytelling resources and projects I have encountered are specific to video methods, but there is a plethora of other mediums that can be used for storytelling. Sharing ideas for tools that are free or easy to use would also be helpful.

Steven Lubar — Mon, 15 Oct 2012 15:21:31 +0000

This would be a fascinating session. I’ve been exploring the new Paper Machines plugin for Zotero – it gives you some wonderful quick visualizations of data based on your collected documents, or data available from JSTOR. But what to do with it once you’ve got the visualization? I think it’s an area where traditional knowledge and digital skills might make for a very useful synergy. Like you say, something that’s not much taught.

Something along these line could be really helpful….
what are
-the pros and cons of building with Drupal
-the pros and cons of building with Omeka
-the pros and cons of plone
… or Radiant or WordPress..
how are these tools different, the same, and worthwhile or not for specific projects?
-what are the best-case-scenario use-cases for each of the above that we could collaboratively share and collect? …is there already a place/space that does that well (beyond www.arts-humanities.net/tools or BambooDIRT that are great, but don’t really help me cluster the tool sets or project lists in ways that particularly help….)

Looking forward overall and particularly excited about the Online Persona, DB Design and Mapping workshops. Would love a CMS overview workshop to get a better comparative sense of potential and limitations of wordpress, drupal, omeka. Also, anyone remember Key Words: A Vocabulary of Culture and Society by Raymond Williams? Does a comparable resource exist for the DH? This beginner would find something like that useful!

Comment on Registration is now Open! by Clarissa Ceglio

One of the items I’d like to propose for discussion among fellow graduate students attending THATCamp NE is: what are your needs and interests regarding academic preparation to pursue work in the digital humanities field? This informal input, plus any blogging on the subject that fellow campers might be inclined to pursue on the topic, will be used to supplement a session at the American Studies Association Conference called, “Digital Dimensions of Graduate Education in American Studies.” Also, because digital humanities work is highly collaborative, I’d like to propose a session in which attendees can share their ideas about how to work together on project teams more effectively.

A bit about me: Clarissa Ceglio (@cjceglio) is a Research Associate at the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media (CHNM) at George Mason University and a PhD candidate in the Department of American Studies at Brown University. Her research, teaching and public humanities work focuses on 19th- and 20th-century US cultural history with complementary emphases in material and visual culture studies. Her scholarship has its roots in her earlier 20-year career as a writer and editor in the arts, museum, and medical fields. At the CHNM, she currently serves as managing editor for a new WordPress-based state encyclopedia project and as project manager for a prototype web site that will explore US culture and history through iconic songs. The latter collaboration is being undertaken with the University of Pittsburgh’s Center for American Music and is sponsored by the National Endowment for the Humanities.

Does anyone know what’s going on with THATCamp? I registered 2 weeks ago and there’s been no word, no confirmation, nothing. This sounds impatient, yes. But the conference is 3 weeks away and registrants like me need to make plans to take time away from work, get classes covered, etc.

Anybody know anything?
