Hi!

I agree with your opening statement that conversations and events can be a form of digital humanities work. I was interested to see you explain why it can’t be as well. When you start to bring up the fact that social media can be used as a benefit to get the message across and spread quickly, you bring up how this can also be a negative…[Read more]

Hi April!

I really enjoyed reading your blog post about Emmett Till. I have heard this unfortunate story about this young man and it is deeply sad every time I revisit his unfortunate death. Dealing with racism is an important part of American history and we should, as a nation, discuss situations such as Emmett Till so that we can learn from…[Read more]

I think In Gärdebo et al.’s “Introduction to Social Media in the Anthropocene,” the discussion of the fact that there is a difference between reading about the Anthropocene in a book is different than reading it on Twitter is definitely true. With taking my own experience with using Twitter into account, I tried to think of what this might look l…[Read more]

Hi Fath!

I really enjoyed reading your article. The first thing that caught my attention of why I wanted to read it was the title it was a great attention grabber and the gif underneath had a great funny touch as well! Your article was both relatable to your audience while containing some important facts as well. I would also become…[Read more]

Hi!

I definitely agree with your view of what an audience is. That the audience has sort of a ‘prerequisite’ as to what they are about to listen to. I liked how you also referred to it as a ‘prerequisite’ I thought that was a very clever spin to put on it. I also liked how when you start to bring up the difference between audience and…[Read more]

Hi Professor!

I think the question you raise on the idea of whether or not there is a difference between and audience and public is definitely an eye opening question. In fact, I never really thought that there would really be a different until reading your blog post. I definitely believe having an ‘audience’ can kind of prepare you more for…[Read more]

Hi Faith!

I definitely agree that I consider my personal and academic life to be completely separate from one another, as we all should, in my opinion. I agree with you as well in bringing up the fact that Gregory is right in warning professors about overburdening their students with work outside of school hours because it is important to…[Read more]

Hi Sara!

I liked how you began your post with such a strong opinion. It is nice to see that you are so confident in what your belief on the ivory tower with humanities is and why you believe humanities being disconnected from the real world “does not seem to be of any truth”. I definitely agree with your statement that “the availability and…[Read more]

Hi Faith!

I thought your post was very interesting and personal. I liked how you were able to connect it to your own experiences with being a part of a “clique” or not being a part of one, and honestly I fee like that is a great way to kind of look at what the ivory tower means. I you are a part of the group on social media where you are all…[Read more]

I thought the ivory tower was a very interesting way to describe the way of public humanists. Having our work be private, in my opinion, goes against the whole idea of trying to get our work across to different people. What I understood from the first module, was that the whole point of trying to engage people and be a good “public humanist” was…[Read more]

Hi Jen!

I actually laughed at the first part of your post that posting your process as opposed to your finished product would be laughable because I totally agree. I honestly can not imagine what people would think of my process rather than my completed project either. I like how you related that sharing your process as it happens makes your…[Read more]

Based on what I currently know, I believe digital public humanities to mean a description of the different values of humanities that has the ability and availability to reach multiple platforms. I agree with Stommel’s idea that it should be legible and that most people tend to use their intelligence on certain subjects without thinking of their…[Read more]
