hi, i'm Bridget :)

 

Hi everyone, my name is Bridget and I'm an English/Journalism major, but I'm thinking of doing a dual major or a minor in Political Science. This is a picture of my dog, Bruna, who is 4 years old. I'm from New Hampshire but I was born and raised in Massachusetts. I love being outside, listening to music, (especially Fleetwood Mac, Zach Bryan, Noah Kahan, and Mac Miller), going to music festivals and concerts, and meeting new people. I also love traveling, and I've been an exchange student to Germany. I'm super excited to take this class and learn more about digital media, because it will probably play a large part in my future role as a journalist! My ultimate career goal is to work for the New York Times. 

I'm so excited to get to know people in this class and to have a great semester together! :)

blog post 1: what is digital humanities?

  MFA Boston "Real Photo Postcards: Pictures from a Changing Nation" (2022)      Hearing the term “Digital Humanities” in this class's title gave me the immediate impression that this class would teach about the online aspect of works in the English realm, such as news sites or other web-based published works. Since reading the beginning of the textbook and taking time to explore what Digital Humanities actually is, I have learned that it is far more steeped in research and quantification than I originally thought. As the textbook suggests, Digital Humanities is an incredibly broad field, and the term can be applied to a variety of projects and organized works. Specifically, the integration of technology to the materials being studied is something that is fluid, and can be changed according to the needs and the nature of the project.       With this loose definition in mind, the first type of works that come to mind are exhibits that I have seen a...

What is DH?

  The Digital Humanities book provided a digestible explanation of what Digital Humanities incorporates with the digital world and different humanities principles. As I read the preface, I appreciated the terms “introduction,” “intended,” and “guided by principles,” because it supported my current understanding of digital Humanities by implying that there is not one single definition of digital humanities. It makes sense to me that digital humanities requires continued research and analysis, as it evolves within our society. I think that digital humanities is basically where the digital world supports and allows a platform to expand on, and analyze, humanities disciplines. I don’t think that digital humanities is intended to allow technology to change what is already there, but instead, to create and/or use the digital world to make those disciplines more accessible. The readings have helped me to have a better understanding of the value of studying and using digital humanities to...

One word that I have seen a lot while looking into digital humanities and what it means is “intersection” (usually between the digital world and, of course, the humanities). I think this word is re ally helpful when thinking about the definition of DH, as it highlights how two almost opposite things are combined... or... intersected. After the readings , my idea of DH is: a piece of work created digitally that focuses on the humanities , or the observance of human existence and experience . T he readings taught me that “ a project can be digital without being online,” which is something new to me that I had never thought of before. Early on in the textbook, I also learned the difference between “digital” (information in binary form), and “computational” (processes performed by algorithms). A quote that stood out to me that really helped me better my understanding of what DH is was: “These components ( materials, processing, & presentation ) and the activities on whic...
