My Matterport virtual tour of the Medicine Wheel Garden: https://my.matterport.com/show/?m=Dj6rbeQbJF9 A few notes on my tour: Some of the scans somehow got all scrambled up when I was lining them up on my phone and I was unable to undo it when creating the space. Some of my annotations also got displaced after I created …
I’m interested in possibly being an instructor someday, whether that’s as a college professor or museum educator. As such, I was interested in looking at digital tools that can be used to convey information about the humanities. I wanted to find something interactive for students that could be used for a wide range of different …
As we’ve discussed in class, archives are not neutral repositories of information; they are spaces where power continues to operate in subtle ways that often go unnoticed. Archives and museums can serve nations as tools that help construct national narratives, and nations shaped by colonialism therefore have colonialism embedded in their archival practices. As Kimberly …
As someone who’s really interested in social history, I feel like it’s the way in which we use quantitative data that determines whether or not our arguments are reductive. There are, of course, plenty of limitations to raw data, as pointed out in the article “Against Cleaning” when Rawson and Munez discuss the limitations of …
I know we already discussed this in class, but I’m still just blown away by the article “Digitization: Just Because You Can, Doesn’t Mean You Should.” I can’t imagine being in the subject of the video’s position, having consented to a very niche audience seeing the material and then having it digitized for people across …

It was such a fun challenge to figure out how to weave different choices together to reach the same ending, or loop back around to a good point to restart from, or how to end a thread in a satisfying way. …
For my research question, I was interested in seeing what parts of the country had the highest populations of Free Black women in 1840. For the image I uploaded, I chose Ages 24-35. I didn’t really run into any problems with this data visualization. However, the first data visualization I attempted did run into a …
The main criticism that I’ve heard regarding text analysis is something that we discussed in class, which is the idea that data such as word frequency doesn’t necessarily tell us anything larger about a work or primary source. I remember attending a talk where someone in the audience questioned the speaker’s methodology, as he asserted …
I know that we discussed this at some length already in class, but I still can’t stop thinking about the article “Google redraws the borders on maps depending on who’s looking”. As I said in class, I had already known that corporations like Google weren’t objective when it came to naming places (See: Gulf of …
