Here is a link to our final project, which took a look at word frequencies in Convocation descriptions to reflect on what kinds of topics and speakers Convocations have featured over time, from 1962-1978, then from 1978-2020. Take a gander! Visit our website here
Our project revolves around “Carleton College Today,” a video we discovered in the Carleton College Digital Collections, originating sometime between 1964 and 1967. Using videography we recreated selected scenes and compiled it into a new Carleton College Today video. In addition, we created a storymap tour that displays the locations in which each clip was […]
Our project consists of a story map shows the transformation of the Carleton Arboretum from its founding to the present day. Visit our website below to experience the wonders of the Arb from its founding in 1927 to the present. This project was created by Shannon Cashin, Kevin Bui, and Emmy Belloni.
Our project revolved around mapping the performance of Carleton’s football team over the years and looking for correlations between major events on campus, within the NCAA, and the world. Although we weren’t able to make any concrete conclusions, we believe the project could be a stepping stone for a more thorough analysis involving other focus […]
The Carleton College Arboretum (more commonly known as the Arb) was founded in 1926, and has since been used as farmland, the meeting place for the Reformed Druids of North America, and a place for Carleton students to get exercise, learn, or otherwise just enjoy nature. The Arb has undergone many changes throughout the years […]
Data visualization is increasingly becoming a vital resource in presenting data and evidence in the humanities and social sciences (hence the subject area of digital humanities), where technology has traditionally not been used. For my group’s final project for the course, we knew that data visualization would be a key element to the completion of […]
Progress:From our original idea for the project, we’ve adapted our project to yield some results that are a bit more conclusive and realistic. Instead of tracking the progression of a variety of Carleton teams over their histories, we’ve decided to focus solely on the Carleton football team. Given the longevity of the football team and […]
Progress As of the end of class Tuesday we have done our initial text processing in Voyant tools, which indicated to us we would need to do a bit more editing to the data in order to make it machine readable/effective in visualizing the program data. Our personal research has helped us begin making hesitant […]
Team PLM: Mike Kombate, Diana De La Paz, Gaby Lazo Progress Since our last blog post, our group has worked hard to develop a clearer theme to visualize with our project. We want to focus our project on a specific piece of media we found in the archives: “Carleton Today,” a film reel taken sometime […]
Brooke McKelvey, Nicole Connell, and Rebecca Hicke The progress we’ve made on our project has been in the data collection area, which we’ve identified as the most time consuming area of our project. We have gotten about 25% of the way through our initial data collection, which involves identifying classes listed in Carleton’s academic catalogs […]
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 […]
Thoughts: We will focus on the reconstruction of one of the buildings in the Forbidden City. Besides constructing the 3-d model, we may align it in a story map and present background information of it, such as the procedure of the construction or the historical stories lay behind it. Here is the group block link:
Buildings rise and fall, classes come and go, but the culture remains in place.
Members:Adam Loew, Nick Reeves, Andrew Lin Topic and Objectives:We are planning for our project to create an interactive timeline that shows the positions of Carleton sports teams within the MIAC conference at the end of each season over the years. We’d be using data from the MIAC websites to record the history of each team […]
The members of our motley crew are: Spencer Lekki, Chloe Truebenbach, and Cecilia Kryzda. Our project objectives are twofold: we seek to compare the keywords, themes, host departments to general descriptions and purpose statements about Convocation. Further, we would like to observe changes in Carleton’s institutional ideas of importance. From a cursory skim of the […]
Nicole Connell, Rebecca Hicke, Brooke McKelvey Our project will be creating a network from a text analysis that displays the relationships between departments and professors through co-taught classes. Our data is composed of classes with multiple professors and comes from the past twenty years of academic catalogs (1999-2000 to 2019-2020) which are in the archives […]
Members: Ginifer Coffin, Faith Yim, Daniel Chung, Lucklita Theng Project Topic: Carleton’s Food: Where Does it Come From? Proposed Methodology: We are planning on using data from the Carleton food providers from the past decade or so (ex. Bon Appetit). The information we will be specifically interested in staple food products (meat, dairy, vegetables, grains) […]
For this final project, my biggest interest is on discovering Su Shi’s exact life journey by reading a lot of materials. I would need to search some original Song dynasty records and Su Shi’s own diary to make myself clear about those important locations in his life. This would be a good chance for me […]
Members of the group: Zhihan Yang, Yixin Song, and Songyan Zhao. We want to map the famous Song dynasty poet Su Shi’s life and post an interactive post to introduce Su Shi in a new DH way. The proposed methodology: We will collect poems, records, and specific location’s architecture data online. We will also use […]
Group Members: Molly, Nacho, Bia, Aaron Definition of Project Objectives: Find out how times of the year affect how many people visit Dacie Moises House and what they bake. The Plan: We want to make a timeline that shows the busiest times of terms and what kinds of things get baked at different times of […]
Hacking the Humanities Final Project Members of the group: Emmy, Shannon, Kevin Topic and Objectives: We are planning to create a project that details the development of the Arb from its creation to its current state. This project would consist of a timeline detailing both major events having to do with the Arb and maps […]
