Hi Rhiannon, I love your post. I really like the way this project works. People who want to get some suggestions would get help in a friendly atmosphere. Sharing and communicating some makeup information and skills is really a good connection and method to operate this project. It does make the process become more vivid and engaging. I also like…[Read more]

Hi Faith, I really enjoyed reading this post. I think that it would be a useful tool. I like the way you reach your specific audiences through the Tiktok. Tiktok is very popular among young people and easy to use. People could be organized into different groups based on their interests. I completely agree with your perspective about the definition…[Read more]

Hi April, I literally enjoyed reading your post. The patient post is very creative for both patients and doctors. It makes the connection between the doctors and patients stronger. Posting stories about their own illness not only gives a chance to patients, but also lets doctors or physicians know their patients better and provide more quality and…[Read more]

Hi April, I really enjoyed reading your responses. I like the way you talked about the influence of social media. You stated that “ Ideas discussed on social media lead to developments or connections to different theories. There is a chance for a change or critique of the structure, which is said to be very essential in critical fandom, or a d…[Read more]

Hi Brenna, I really enjoyed this reading. You really made a lot of good points that resonate to me. You stated that “Social media has increased the visibility of media audiences which make it easier to identify others that share common interests.” I completely agree with this point. I think that interest is one of the connected points that cou…[Read more]

Hello Professor, through reading the “Black Scholars Matter: #BlkTwitterstorians Building a Digital Community”, I learned that building a project for a specific community not only could cooperate with the targeted public, but also could work with other similar projects. Working with other projects could be inspired by some field and make their own…[Read more]

Hi April, I believe this is a really good standard for a digital public humanities project. The memorial for Emmett Till not only just recorded this story, but also may work as an alarm about racism and colorism. Patrick Weems spread this message by collecting and organizing stories of Emmett Till’s life. Although different audiences have d…[Read more]

Hi Cesar, I think that you made a lot of great points, some of which resonate to me. I do believe that art is a good way to share and spread knowledge and does make some contribution to public humanities. Art works usually usually are given some meaningful stories and thoughts to and make the public inspired or get some messages from them. I…[Read more]

Hi Shannon, I really like how you mentioned the causal tone could help writers to connect with readers comfortably. That reminds me that one of the purposes of public humanities is to make our words interesting and attractive, instead of just spreading purely content. Brennan pointed out a similar point on doing public digital humanities. She…[Read more]

Hi Professor, about the list of “Number of Important Ways” of public humanities projects mentioned by Brennan, Firstly, I strongly agree that humanists should take care of the problem of language symbols and accessible ways within the public humanities projects. It not only should be usable for the audience, but also make users understand and eng…[Read more]

Hi April, I really enjoyed reading this post. I agree with Brenaan’s point that identifying audiences. We need to understand our audience to design related plans. So, I think that it’s better to confirm targeted audiences. Humanists are able to know a general direction that they could explore. Doing public humanities is better to invite the pub…[Read more]

Hi Rhiannon, I like the way you talked about humanities scholars of ivory tower. You point out that “ The majority do not consider themselves to be within the ivory tower and would consider themselves far beyond it if anything.” I totally agree with this point. I also think that humanists desire to work with the community. Public humanists may imp…[Read more]

Hi Shannon, I strongly agree that public humanists should have a targeted group of audience. Public humanities should start with confirming the audiences outside of the academy. Identifying and understanding the audience is also significant to build connections between public humanities and the public. It can help projects of public humanities be…[Read more]

Initially, I think that public humanities is just an extension from some academic research. Scholars posting their views on specific websites can count in public humanities. I thought public humanities could offer a place where scholars could share their thoughts with the public. Now, I have new ideas about public humanities. I think that the…[Read more]

About academic publishing, I feel the same way with Shummway’s view that academic publishing should not count as public humanities. If academic publishings count as public humanities, there will be a precondition. When academic work is published, there should be public humanists as a translator to spread it with interesting and engaging words to t…[Read more]

Hi April,I really like the way you explain the quote from Stommel, especially about translation of academic work. You profess that “To be available and accessible, the creator has to have a certain niche to turn the subject at hand understandable and collaborative to everyone that interacts with the work.” I have the same or similar points abo…[Read more]

So one of the public humanists’ purposes is to build a connection with scholarly works and extend them. For the digital public humanists, does it like to build community-driven digital objects which can receive and organize views from the civics, such as digital library or a specific website, in order to figure out what the public need and i…[Read more]
