This is simply disgusting. Simply searching “white man comes up with very different results. Articles about their privilege, and how they are feeling left out diversity and inclusion- here’s one of the first articles to pop up https://www.forbes.com/sites/teresahopke/2022/03/30/white-men-are-feeling-left-out-of-dei-diversity-equity--inclusion-why-should-we-care-and-what-should-we-do/?sh=411b2f3ffaa6. Women of colour are often seen as “exotic” and fun, and this article gives some great insight into the topic for anyone interested https://clubsexu.com/en/racial-fetishization-colour-as-fantasy/.

Funny I had just written about this! It is so essential for information such as this to be easily available and interesting to view from the public’s perspective in order to get information out there. Here is a interactive/ story map of some museums in Europe dedicated to raising awareness about climate change! https://www.interarts.net/news/nemo-map/

Seeing all this information individually would often not have much meaning, or even be difficult to interpret for most people. The average person is not sifting through thousands of pieces of data in order to have a general understanding of the provenance of timbers used for building gas in Bermuda. It is important knowledge nonetheless, and individuals looking to do further research into this topic would be set back by having to analyze this data all over again. That’s why visuals such as the story map in this example are important, it is not only important for quickly and easily understanding thousands of data points and how it relates to the world, it helps further research. In addition to helping further research, story maps such as these can be used to give the general public who may not be otherwise interested in the topic a quick and easy way to visualize what’s happening. If anyone has been to the museum in Victoria, they also used story maps in order to show climate change and some of the effects of it. Instead of just saying that temperatures are rising, it SHOWED people how and where temperatures are rising the most in a quick and easy to interact with format. I am not sure if the museum still has exhibits like this, but it is definitely worth checking out if you are in the area.

Story maps are often used to tell historical events, but could possibly also be used to tell fictional events. Taking it a step further than Susan, creating a map for a fictional world is common for authors and the idea of adding a story map to that in order to improve storytelling and accessibility might be a great idea! Unfortunately I couldn’t find any examples to share however.

There are so many ways to tell a story- a story map can tell a joyful story of escaping hard situations, such as map about a successful journey of a group escaping a tough situation, or tell a story of a mostly forgotten tragedy in a place.

Glad to see this brought up- instead of using the spiral vs circle vs straight ended up using the colours to see if events repeated or not, and when.

I guess I should’ve scrolled a bit further to see this new and improved spiral graph! Without the odours it forces me to look at the dots, and where the wake-up time is everyday vs other times in the day. I wish this example was shown earlier!

No matter how much I try ad wrap my head around this- I can’t seem to grasp why a spiral would be preferred over a line, especially since it seems the dots must be colour coded regardless, and to me the colours of the dots in these examples is what I’ve used to interpret the timelines in the examples. Can’t find anything else about it online either!

Go e are the days of trying to figure out what to eat for dinner and spending all day thinking about it..using data and AI hypothetically you could list the ingredients in your fridge and ask it to make a meal with a salad and main. How amazing! Has anyone given this a try before? I think I might have to.

The term definitely seems coined in order to instil fear, and terminology like this should always be treated with caution. It reminds me of when people talk about “big pharma” as a money hungry business out for everyone. It is not as scary as it seems though, and after a quick search big data simply refers to data sets that are too large or complex to be dealt with by traditional data-processing application software.

This is so crazy to think about, and honestly I had never thought about it that way. I hope digital archives such as email will be able to be preserved.

If anyone has ever played with language SI models before, they are infamous for giving out dead links (link rot). It’s crazy how much there is!

Sometimes you hear of this in photo sharing apps where people don’t realize that photos they upload can have metadata in the structure. Metadata can be useful when searching through the vast internet for something specific, but some metadata including things such as date and time could possibly put someone’s safety at risk. Being able to see location in a person’s picture and the addition of knowing the date and time of creation could in some cases lead to things such as stalking. While this won’t always happen, it is crazy to me that something so simple that most people don’t know about can be so important!

As a university student, this is incredibly important! It helps to avoid people using wrong or not fully supported information. In classes I am always required to use peer-reviewed sources, as they are often have more reliable information. It can also help to make sure that we, as writers, get our point across to our readers correctly and there are no mistakes.

3D printing has come a long way- now some digital printing mechanisms can assist with things like building houses! https://youtu.be/vL2KoMNzGTo?si=wBR0CVEWubdkQe1t

This is a great example of using digitial humanities globally intentionally. They use this information in order to try and bring awareness to issues surrounding Islamophobia

It seems almost impossible for digital humanities to not be global in a sense- with increasing need to access the internet in everyday life people can share all sorts of information. Sometimes they may even share this nfirmation t a wide global audience without even realizing.

This just goes to show how important ease of access is in the field of digital humanities.

After viewing the results from our class poll on what each of us believed digital humanities to be about, this idea shows just how large of a scope DH encompasses. The idea of DH is used to categorize such a broad range of topics that some people might have only slightly similar interests within DH but are technically both studying the same topic. This is different from subjects like health psychology, where yes there is a broad range of topics, but the range is not nearly as large and diverse as there is in DH.
