I’ve started following three more people, and joined one more group. I am pondering whether to start a new discussion topic in one of the groups or reply to an existing one, but haven’t decided yet. None of the groups I’ve found as yet have an enormous amount of recent activity, so I’m not sure which would be the best option for the purposes of…[Read more]

Hello, everyone!

I’ve just completed Challenge #2. I started following 5 people, mostly scholars in postcolonial ecocriticism, Global South lit and environmental humanities, and joined 2 new groups, Animal Studies and Lit and Economics. At first I had difficulty finding people with similar interests, perhaps because I was searching very specific…[Read more]

So I’ve gone and added anyone who shares interest in the Etruscans, I’ve found there are very few people here who are in those groups. I wish there was a way to see the members that other people follow. I wonder if some of the people I follow are following Etruscan Scholars who just have not added Etruscan to their interest and so are not coming…[Read more]

So I’m late to the game since I was camping last week but here is my profile. I am glad I did it, I realized some of my conference presentations and other things I’ve done left off my CV

Just in case anyone else had trouble finding the Humanities Commons homepage for item 1 of Challenge 2…….

Once you log in, click on the Humanities Commons logo in the upper left of screen.

It’s such a useful page, and I’m grateful that this challenge prompted me to find it. 🙂

I’m still working on my profile and need to write the “About” and attach a CV. It’s satisfying to create a space that better represents me than what was there before. I’m here: https://hcommons-staging.org/members/lindalevitt/

About photos, our department brought somebody in to take head shots of faculty and grad students when we updated our web site last year.  This was optional, and I was surprised that more people didn’t do it … well, not really surprised about faculty, but the grad students?  Come on!  They were practically born on the internet but still have a hard…[Read more]

Hello All,

I think this is about as done as it will get before we leave for travels this week:  https://hcommons-staging.org/members/saritablue/.

I’ll be in Germany soon working on some bits of German translation of works I need for a project, and I’ll also be on vacation : ), but I hope to be able to complete more of the profile through c…[Read more]

Hi All! Here’s my profile so far: https://hcommons-staging.org/members/cswanson. Reading the past comments on profile pics, I realized mine is a little fuzzy. Hopefully, I can get a better/clearer picture before the summer camp is over.

Hi everyone!

I’m excited to participate in this years HC summer camp.  My profile is still a work in progress, but here it is: https://hcommons-staging.org/members/eliseojacob/

Have a good weekend!

Hi all,

Glad I made it just in time to finish the first challenge! I made some changes to my profile. I could use a new profile pic. but since I’ve been staring at a computer screen all day for the class I’m teaching online, this probably isn’t my best photo moment.
It’s been fun seeing all of your profiles. Mine is here!

Happy Weekend!
Joelle

Hello!

It has been so helpful to see how everyone is approaching this challenge & to learn from your examples.

Thanks to each of you for sharing.

I took some time this evening to explore the ORCID ID, too, which was something I hadn’t heard about before the mini-challenge.

Here is a link to my…[Read more]

Made a few updates to include more information, though this also made me realize that there is more I should do. Here is the update thus far: https://hcommons-staging.org/members/catherineannwin/

It’s a work in progress, but:

Hi All,

Here’s my profile. Like many of us, I’ll probably add a few things between now and the deadline, especially the “about me” section.

And I’ll have to find a better head shot for the profile image than the one have right now.

https://hcommons-staging.org/members/sbanville/.

I’ve tweaked my “About” section a little bit to give it more of a human face (or at least tone), and added some upcoming events. I also added an interest and changed by cover image to something more identifiably “archival”. I may not have time to do more for this particular challenge by 9 June, but look forward to the next one!

Here I…[Read more]
