Hello everyone! Like Charlie, I took this challenge as an opportunity to write a little bit about my experience doing this summer camp and my plans for my website/overall digital presence going forward. I tried to answer all of the questions in the challenge, albeit in a slightly different order. You can read it here.

Thanks again to Caitlin for…[Read more]

Hello everyone!
I’ve spent the last couple of weeks playing around with the website and trying out some of the plugins and widgets that HC WordPress offers, and added some to my website. I found the Creative Commons configurator very helpful in figuring out the different levels of protection/sharing in OA works, and I might use it in the future.…[Read more]

I just created a site! You can find it here. As you can tell, it’s still very much a bare-bones structure, and my only post is an introductory one (nothing much new besides a link to what I think is the funniest Zizek “lecture” to date). I found the examples linked in the challenge really helpful, as they gave me a sense of what scholars are using…[Read more]

Well … I tried it, but it was depressing.  A lot of my articles are with journals that don’t assign DOIs, so nothing is generating buzz.  And the one that I did check had 1 tweet, from MLA from when I deposited it in CORE a few years ago.  I’m not sure I want to put a badge on my personal website advertising that.

On the positive side, I can see…[Read more]

These tools are extremely helpful! I experimented a little bit with the Altmetric bookmarklet on a few articles to see what scholars in my area of interest are saying about those articles/subjects. I found the demographic and geographical breakdown particularly interesting, because it made me much more aware of who might be reading my own work.…[Read more]

I echo Dana’s comment! This challenge really helped me figure out what kinds of resources are available in the H Commons repository, as well as how to find resources best suited to my research. To complete the challenge, I decided to look up articles related to my dissertation topic. At first, I wasn’t finding much, but I think it’s because I…[Read more]

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday!  I joined several new groups: Comics Scholarship/Comics Studies, Narrative theory and Narratology, Autofiction, and Neoliberal Fiction (thanks @sarastarbucksantos). I started threads in two of the groups based on what I’m currently working on (both having to do with voice and co-mix). I also tried to join groups that…[Read more]

I took on the mini challenge and created a new group titled “Neoliberal Fiction.” As with many of the campers, I initially struggled to find groups specifically tailored to my fields of interest, specifically neoliberalism and its connections with literature and culture. Part of my dissertation project has to do with tracing the emerging genre of…[Read more]
