Hello Cesar,
I really admire your project. The fact that sometimes discrimination based on gender happens on a large scale is hideous. Any discrimination is totally unacceptable, whether ethnic, gender-based, ideological, except for discrimination based on performance (and not even at all times). I think if you add a part to your project to…[Read more] -

Hello Leo,
Thank you for reading my post and commenting. Of course, the audience will not be free of biases that will not stop them from criticizing the project. But academically, this can be avoided by reviewing the content by many participants. As for bringing an “informational politics,” it is not the basis of the project. The basis of the…[Read more] -

Hi Xinyu,
It is an awe-inspiring project. I think it can really bridge the gap between the public and the experts in understanding environmental issues. It is also interesting that the gap exists between experts, politicians, and legislators as well. We may see this in the presence of public policies that are not sufficiently effective or the…[Read more] -

Hello Thoraya,
I think your project is essential, and it’s a topic that I personally care about. To begin with, I have to say a quote by Felix frankfurter, which is, “It is a wise man who said that there is no greater inequality than the equal treatment of unequals.” In fact, it is a saying that expresses the difference between social equality…[Read more]

Hi Cesar,
Very Impressive post! A project like this represents a great value in preserving the environment because it means overcoming psychological and practical obstacles for the public. And these two, in fact, are the kinds of more significant problems in preserving the environment. I can imagine this project (or any other environmental…[Read more] -

Hello, Brenna
I really liked your comment; criticizing an idea increases its power and effectiveness. Indeed, social media use is not only more comfortable, but better and more effective. Indeed, as Aleia M. Brown and Joshua Crutchfield said, social movements generate new things. In fact, these new things many of them make up society anew. In…[Read more] -

Hi Thoraya,
Of course, I agree with you; diversity strengthens everyone. I believe that social media platforms, including Twitter, bring together everyone who has an idea and cause, supports and encourages them, and builds a new community and groups that can contribute to society’s improvement in general. Imagine if this happened with academics,…[Read more] -

Hello professor,
Answering the fifth question. My attention has focused a lot on race relations in the United States since I took a course with Professor Julian Wamble last year. This course provided me with a real opportunity to understand this topic. From here, I believe that explicitly putting the label of “resistance” on any black digital…[Read more]

Hello Chang!
I think your comment is very impressive. In fact, the primary purpose of these important ways is to create digital humanities, that is, to transform complex academic materials into easy-to-understand and straightforward materials for the public. That is, making “the sentence more interesting and attractive,” as you mentioned, is…[Read more]

Hi Cesar,
I really like your post. There are always other stories in history for the stories we know. I was very impressed with the Cannes festival’s story. In fact, the media, in general, represents a reflection of cultures and peoples. When art transcends cultures and peoples, it unites peoples. When art presents a product that is affected,…[Read more]

Hello Leo,
I agree with you that listeners and audiences are two different factions. Indeed, you mentioned a very important point of distinction between them, which is that they are connected by commerciality rather than accessibility. In addition, I agree with you regarding the popularity of public history, since most of it revolves purely on…[Read more]

Hello Professor,
Of course, I agree with Brennan, as I think the ways she proposed are essential in terms of project effectiveness. I believe all the suggestions she made are related to the quality of finding or entering the project practically by the audience, relevant to the digital tools and techniques used in creating the project. But one…[Read more]

Hi April!
I agree with you on an essential point, which is getting ideas to the public. Exposing general academic intellectual products should be profound and presented in a simple way to the public, which is indispensable. So the public humanities are centered between what is profound and what is indispensable, the profound can be translated…[Read more]

Hi Shannon!
It is true; this class seems so obvious, yet, public humanities is complicated to draw a pattern to it intellectually. However, I think this is obvious to a great extent (for me at least) because I do not know many fields in humanities. On the other hand, when it comes to political science (my major), it is easy for me to think of…[Read more]

Hi Leo!
You asked, What kinds of humanities projects should be publicly platformed? Are some more important than others?
I believe that the kinds of humanities projects that should be piblicly platformed are what simply solve a problem. This, because in absolute terms we want to invest in what can give us the best results. In other words,…[Read more]

To start with, I want to present a concept or law introduced by the great Arnold Toynbee, called the law of Withdrawal and Return. This law argues that for civilizations to continue to develop and prosper, they must withdraw from all known patterns (cultural, intellectual, administrative, etc.). After the withdrawal process, these civilizations…[Read more]

Hi Jen,
I am impressed with what you said about what writers/creators struggle with: creativity is an indispensable human need. Also, how the incomplete product (process) and the complete product play a role in influencing what one says is crucial. But isn’t the incompleteness of something a prerequisite for its development? Of course, this is…[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]
Hi Mostafa,
I agree too that Brennan proposes essential terms of project success. Reading that article has certainly helped with points I will be sure to include in my final project. Additionally, I find that it is important to identify and collaborate with specific audiences as it helps public digital humanities projects be relevant and useful…[Read more]
Hi Mostafa,
Titles are also important because they can help make your project searchable online. You might think about what your potential audience will type into Google to find your work – what are some keywords they might use to search for the material or digital space you will provide them with?
I see how a project on implicit racism…[Read more]
