During the first week of this fellowship my definition of DH was very theoretical. There is nothing wrong with theoretical definitions, but as the summer went on, my definition became more practical. I think the change in my understanding is like the difference between knowing what Storymaps JS is and actually being able to make a Storymap. I think after completing this fellowship I understand the strengths and weaknesses of DH.\u00a0 I think it is important to look at it critically, but also appreciate what it stands for.<\/p>\n

I am not sure which definition my project represents. In some ways, I think it represents the first \u201cideal\u201d definition, but in some ways I think my project represents the practical definition.<\/p>\n

Advice to the next year\u2019s cohort<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Don\u2019t be afraid to think big in the first few weeks.<\/li>\n
  2. Accept that your project will not be as big as you would have hoped<\/li>\n
  3. Ask lots of questions\u2026 during sessions, to specific people, or when you need help.<\/li>\n
  4. Don\u2019t be afraid to reach out to the greater DH community<\/li>\n
  5. Don\u2019t rule digital tools out right away<\/li>\n
  6. Have fun<\/li>\n
  7. Don\u2019t be afraid to fail<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
