For this tutorial, I selected Stanford’s Palladio tool. I was interested in learning about this tool for my final project and also because I find the mapping aspect of the digital humanities very interesting. Palladio can be used for many different data displays. It can show movement between points on a map, link maps together, […]
Progress So far, we have narrowed down our areas of focus, started our data collection, and contacted Archives in the library to find more historical information about past OCS programs. We have been working with Nat Wilson in the archives who has compiled information on OCS programs for us. These documents are unprocessed and only […]
The group for this project is Teagan Johnson, Alexei Thomas, Hannah Sheridan and Eli Offman. For this project, we intend to compare Carleton College’s Off-Campus Study offerings over the years. Carleton publishes statistics about the percentage of the graduating class that went on OCS, recurring programs, popular locations for specific courses, relation to popularity in […]
For my project, I used ArcGIS to create 3 separate maps of Tate Gallery artists born between 1900-1929 in order to show skews in gender across the 3 decades. Here’s the link to my project!
I created an interactive map displaying the data from a squirrel counting initiative in Central Park. I combined this information with the base map of the streets and general urban layout of NYC as well as a map showing the slope of the terrain. This second layer reveals information about where the squirrels are most […]
My process with setting up my WordPress site was quite bumpy. Something went wrong in my registration stages so I never got a verification email. This snag led to some conversations with customer support about how to log into my website. However, we got it all figured out (a little later than intended) and I […]
I believe it is a good idea that everyone, not just humanities students, learn to code. The modern era is inarguably moving into the digital sphere. Programming will form the backbone of this new world in everyone’s day to day lives, whether you are involved in the tech industry or not. Considering this inevitability, I […]
For this blog post, I explored the Virtual Angkor educational website. This website simulated 24 hours at medieval Angkor Wat, recreating a virtual rendition of what life at the Hindu temple Angkor Wat in Cambodia would have looked like. This project was a collaborative effort between historians, archaeologists, and virtual history specialists to bring a […]
“I want to see us recognize the work of educators, those that analyze and characterize and critique, everyone who fixes things, all the other people who do valuable work with and for others…whose work isn’t about something you can put in a box and sell.” Debbie Chachra, Why I Am Not a Maker (The Atlantic, […]
At first, getting familiar with SketchUp was a challenge for me, as I have next to know experience with modeling or computers in general. However, after the tutorials and fiddling around with all of the tools for awhile, I was able to discover how I could use certain functions to piece together a rough model […]
