I figured out how the UMD vinyl-cutter works and administered a digital photo archive on WordPress this summer.
I have learned NodeXl to create data viz.
I have worked on minor projects with MITH and am working to increase my knowledge of DH and public history through my graduate MA/MLS work here at UMD. As a southern historian, and southerner myself I am particularly interested in learning more about collective and contested memory. I’m hoping to learn most from others.
Nothing, just want to support this awesome community.
I’m not sure what I can teach others yet. This will be my first THAT Camp
Tech-wise: Omeka, linked open data, general coding.
I’ve been to 20+ THATCamps (and am on the THATCamp Council), so a meta-convo about THATCamp, DH, and Transformativity might also be interesting.
I can talk about Omeka, Linked Data, coding stuff in general, DH topics and projects here and there.
As a psychology major, I think I can offer a unique perspective among my peers who have chosen STEM field majors.
Digital Pedagogy in the classroom.
How to think about digital teaching..
Intro to coding and issues with it, Omeka, RDFI can talk about the FemDH institute at DHSIViewShare
I ran a history- and justice-themed Twitter feed, @afamhistfail, for about a year, in which I tweeted about problematic interactions I had with visitors while interpreting slavery at a historic site. The feed was moderately popular by DH standards (18.5 k followers at the moment) and managed to draw in an audience of history professionals and interested citizens alike; it was also noticed by popular blog The Toast as well as the news site Vox.com. I am happy to talk with other attendees about how to create compelling, meaningful online content that engages a non-academic audience, fosters socially-relevant dialogue, and speaks to current national conversations.
Website development, blogging, social media
Queer DH, digital cultures, video game studies. Intersections of literature, technology, and popular culture. Teaching with technology.
I have a wide range of experiences. I obtained an MFA from Duke’s experimental/documentary program. My focus was fine art photography and experimental filmmaking. My most recent projects include a Google Street view photo project along the ‘1949 Armistice Agreement Line’ (bit.ly/1iSPj00) and a poetic film (bit.ly/1iAi9lS) using open source surveillance camera and bluestacks software. I also worked for Cathy Davidson as a research assistant and as a TA for her Coursera course on Higher Education. I wrote an article on Autism and Higher Ed for the Chronicle. I am interested in public access and ‘digital humanities as a feminist project’ (to reference Claire Potter) as well as the methods and theories behind digital media arts and social communities.
Anything about comics! Also crafting and learning through making things.
I know something about Speculative Computing … but just at the theory level. Everything I know about DH is mostly theoretical. Also, I could give an intro to FemTechNet if people are interested and want to get involved.
sometimes i remember to listen, better than at other times
Honestly, I’m not sure off the top of my head, but I’m sure there’s some way in which I can contribute!I’m mostly coming to listen and learn but could talk about alternative uses of TEI and textual markup if there was interest.
I have been conducting research on open access data sets relevant to humanities programs in higher education. I’m interested in the kinds of data that are used to assess and track the value of the humanities in higher education, and the implicit values of those data.
Unsure
Incorporation of religio-spirituality in our approach to intersectionality…
I could discuss working with interns on DH projects.
International student perspective
I am learning about futures studies and the use of scenarios in the non-profit world. I’m happy to share my inchoate knowledge of the field, but am more interested in talking with people who grapple with the application of humanistic modes of inquiry in the corporate sphere.
I can talk (a bit) about futures studies and forecasting. I’m only two months into a new position, but I’m happy to share what I know about transitioning between academe and nonprofit work.
I am still novice in DH, and am not sure how much I can teach. I am hoping to learn more and add to the conversations where I am able.
I can share what our research team for DUST has discovered about creating alternate reality games to promote scientific thinking in teenagers, especially those in demographics underrepresented in STEM disciplines.
Nope
I use an iPad app called Paper by 53 and would be happy to demonstrate uses for it.
Probably not specific skills so much as an individual perspective and historical memory.-issues affecting undocumented people
I have a plethora of digital pedagogy tools to share, as well as approaches to integrating technology into the undergraduate classroom. I also can share perspectives on leading a digital humanities initiative at a large university.
I am concerned about technology as it impacts our students with disabilities and what is the best way to communicate assignments, etc to a deaf person as well as any other person with a disability
I’d love to share resources commonplace at hackathons, and try to de-mystify these tools and show how they can be useful for anybody doing digital work. I know how to use scripting and compiled languages such as Ruby and python, Java, C, etc. I’m heavily invested in LGBT Studies and am willing to discuss at length various social issues involving communities and identities.
I can share with others what I have learned recently about identity and metadata.
I can also share my knowledge and experience around curating digital projects that explore race.
I specialize in Persian and Arabic literature and I can speak to the challenges of doing DH work in peripheral languages in the modern world system.
I’ve been playing with Doceri recently and wouldn’t call it something I’m definitely prepared to pass on but could be part of a work group if there were others who wanted to experiment/learn more.
I can share my my enthusiasm for TAGS Explorer!
Qualitative social science, critical theory.
I have used a blend of ethnography, digital storytelling, and critical thinking/analysis in undergraduate humanities/social science courses for years.
Its too early for me to teach others. Please give me a couple of years, maybe a bit more, and I will be more than happy to do it.
Wechat, an instant message/tweet/blog/videochatting software that has been adopted by most Chinese speaking population around the world!
Introductions to FemTechNet
I would love to share the work of our DH group at NVCC’s Annandale campus on DH in community colleges as well as the wider network of DH at the CC based on the recent NEH institute. I can also share real instructional examples of implementing DH in CC settings.
no
I’m a Graduate Assistant in Digital Art History in the Michelle Smith Collaboratory for Visual Culture at the University of Maryland, where I have worked with web publishing, 3D modeling, data, and digital exhibitions.
Would love to talk more in general about the labor that goes into DH projects/process.
eating disorder justice, intersections within mental health and eating disorders specifically
As archives become increasingly digitized, I’ve noticed a democratization of biographies; rather than waiting for an “expert” to bring together disparate resources about a person’s life, ordinary individuals have increased access to historical materials and are able to share them with one another, in effect creating a crowdsourced biography.
There is nothing I feel proud enough about to pass on. But, I did just start using the word processing program Scrivener and I am totally in love with it. I also dig that writers made the program for writers– I think it’s a great example of how anyone can become a “tech person”.
I don’t know. For a lot of these issues, I think I serve better as a listener than teacher.
Website creation, online web presence, documentary film, social mediaI am not sure about this question.
Recently I have been thinking about Eli Clare’s ideas from “Exile and Pride” especially what it means to be a rural queer/queer person from a rural area, what home and exile feel like, what it is like to cross boundaries, and to belong, and yet not belong to particular communities and identities.
I have also been thinking about disciplinary boundaries, women’s studies, queer studies, scholarship/activism, advocacy, and different institutional work. What does it mean to be a part of an academic institution? What boundaries do we cross and what community spaces do we belong to and not belong to as we move through the world, as we write/research/create.
I teach inclusive pedagogy based on the Intergroup Dialogue model. I wonder what these concepts might mean for structuring digital interactions.
Don’t know till I get there
As a first-year PhD student and someone who has been out of school for a few years, I’m afraid I may not be able to offer much for now. I do have a great interest in bringing games into the discussion, demonstrating how they can be a tool for talking about issues of social justice. I think the mechanics of video games can offer new ways of thinking about identity politics and identity-based social movements.
I learned about the ABC of UX (User Experience) design and IA (Information Architecture), and how they are much discussed in Silicon Valley but not so much in the realm of DH. I can talk about how the look and arrangement of things determine accessibility, and how this ought be a part of considerations for any academic productions. na
I am by no means a proper techie, but if blogging about queer misogyny and ‘trolling’ the “no fats, no fems” profiles on OkCupid, Grindr, etc. count for a skill…
Much of my blog is centered around reports of misogynistic practices online, especially in dating sites/apps that dichotomize queerness into masc/fem in a way that typically devalues the feminine to be at best frivolous and consumable, at worst grotesque and damaging (the idea that fem/camp gayness is ‘ruining it for the rest of us’). My favorite blogs are where I actually manage to engage (troll the the tits off) users who are very vocal about their preference for “fit” “masc” “discreet” virgin Abecrombe and Fitcth models with medical degrees.
