Digital Scholarship Summer Fellows, 2019
Erik Carneal: 2021, Cinema & Media Studies and Political Science
Erik looks forward to studying political bias in media – its change over time and its effects on viewers. One approach he’s considering is to develop a coding system for biased language and apply it to a corpora of news stories.
Michaela Crow: 2019, Political Science
Michaela plans to explore the relationship between Gettysburg College and the surrounding community, primarily through the Center for Public Service and the Chapel program that preceded it.
Hoang Anh Just: 2021, Mathematics and Computer Science
Hoang will begin developing an augmented reality app that will allow users to see information about campus buildings/landmarks on their mobile device while visiting those spots.
Maci Mark: 2021, History
Maci is very excited about tracing the architectural history of specific campus-owned buildings, including Brua Hall, 227 Carlisle Street, and 250 Carlisle Street.
Emma Poff: 2022, Undeclared
Emma is interested in creating a project about human rights abuses among minority groups. Reports from groups like Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International along with social media posts of first-hand accounts have the potential to tell a powerful story.
Emmarie Toppan: 2020, Philosophy
Emmarie wants to talk about video games as visual novels. There are certain games that focus on storytelling with much less of an emphasis on user input, and Emmarie plans to create a site that catalogs those games and makes it easier to talk about their impact on the genre.
