Hi Nicole! I really enjoyed reading your blog post and think it was very informative, especially in today’s world. Mental health is such an important topic to discuss and bring light on due to how many people struggle with it today. It can help inform those that do not struggle with mental health or make those that do, feel more comfortable and…[Read more]

Hi Faith! I think this project is great and perfect for my short attention spanned mind! Being that I am a terrible cook and am guilty of almost burning my house down because of it, this project is meant for me! I find such satisfaction in cooking shows and videos but unfortunately, I am so terrible at it. I think Tik Tok is a great way to reach…[Read more]

Hi Rhiannon! As soon as I saw Damon Salvator (the love of my life), I just had to keep reading! What a great way to get people to click on your blog! I also like your definition of digital public humanities. I never thought it like that. It’s funny you mention the stress of walking into a makeup store because today that exact thing happened to me.…[Read more]

Hey Chris!

I really enjoyed reading your blog post and found it very interesting. I think if the internet was owned by large corporations instead of the “free web” we have today, the internet would be a lot more controlled. These social media platforms are places that people can voice their opinions and ideas and I feel as if with large cor…[Read more]

Hi Shannon! I also agree that images, videos, and animations can really help bring the piece to life. I am a big visual learner and like to see everything in front of me so images really help me. I also believe that it helps me image the project or piece better in my head when there are visuals. I also think it keeps it fun! My attention span is…[Read more]

Hi Chris!

I really enjoyed reading your post! I have to agree with you on your point where you did not really know what public humanities was and adding “digital” made it a little more confusing. Throughout this course I can gladly say that I have a better understanding of what it is and how we can find these tools. I think social media is the…[Read more]

Technology and especially social media has become such a major part of our society today. Social media is all around us and is so accessible to everyone. Social media has become a very addicting thing especially for younger generations. Downloading the apps is very accessible as well the information that you can find on it. I think reading…[Read more]

Hello Sara!

I will start off by saying what a great post! I also never realized how different the words “public” and “audience” are until this class. The public is everyone and anyone, the audience is who the reading or project was designated for. It is important for the work to be eligible for all. I made this point in my post as well but foc…[Read more]

Hi Mostafa!

I think your post is great and I really enjoyed reading it. I also agreed with Brennan and her suggestions to project effectiveness. I think the title of a project is so important because it is what catches the eye of the reader. It is also the first thing you notice about a public humanities project. Whether it is a funny title or…[Read more]

I do believe that there is a difference between the “public” and an “audience”. The public to me is everyone and the audience refers to those reading and interacting with that specific public humanities tool. When I hear the phrase “having an audience,” I think of a group of people with a similar interest to the tool. For example, authors tha…[Read more]

Hi Shannon!

There is nothing better than reading a blog post about something you are truly passionate about. I too want to become a Speech Pathologist and work with children that have speech impediments! Being that I am someone with a passion for working with those with disabilities, it upsets me greatly that people stare or become scared when…[Read more]

Hi Shannon! It still blows my mind that we are living in a pandemic. A lot of people have the “it wont happen to me” mentality and it always ends up happening to them. It is bitter sweet that our last year in college switched to remote but its only for our safety. I am happy to hear you enjoyed my post and I thank you for your feedback!

Hi Ziqing! Thank you for your feedback. It is a very comforting website in letting people know that they are not alone in these hard times. I also liked how it gave a range of different digital tools!

Hi Shannon!

Thank you for commenting on my post. I totally agree that public humanities is a great representation of the difference of “accessible” and “available” information. With the internet, once it is posted you can not go back and delete it. It will always be out there forever so it is important to be smart and safe when deciding on what…[Read more]

Hi Ziqing!

I think you made some really strong points in your blog post that I enjoyed reading about. I also find myself agreeing with a lot of the points you made as well. Going back to my post, I too talked about Shumway and his discussion on popular culture. I too am guilty of constantly talking about pop culture. I think your idea of…[Read more]

Hi Nicole!

I’ll start off by saying that I enjoyed your post and think that the points you made are strong. I do agree that as public humanists, our work should be public and accessible to help engage people with our work. This is also my first time learning about the ivory tower and I find it very interesting. It is almost as if the idea of t…[Read more]

Hey Faith!

I was very excited to read this blog post the moment I read the title. Faith, you wrote a great blog post and I really did enjoy reading this. I am a fan of the “Call Her Daddy” podcast and I always look forward to a new episode coming out. I have learned a lot from Alex and Sofia in regards to everything a girl would need to kno…[Read more]
