Calculating All That Jazz: Linking Technical Specifications to the Management of Digitization Projects
No full textThe purpose of this session is to educate librarians and archivists about the technical aspects of the digitization process and demonstrate how deeper understanding of those aspects can be used to evaluate the appropriateness of digitization standards, project scope, quality of digitization equipment and storage needs for digitization projects involving photographs and documents. Most scholarship on archival-quality digitization has focused on either elements of digital library project management or on technical specifications and how to digitize materials. "Calculating All That Jazz" focuses on presenting a formula for calculating digital storage space based on analog still images and documents, demonstrating how deeper understanding of the technical elements of digitization in the formula applies directly to crucial project management considerations
The workshop as the work: white anti-racism organising in 1960s, 70s, and 80s US social movements
No full textThis thesis explores the rise of anti-racism workshops developed by white activists in various United States social movements from the late 1960s through the mid-1980s. The shifting ideology of the black freedom movement in the late 1960s, from integration to Black Power, transformed white activists‘ place within racial justice struggles. While recent scholarship has begun to turn its attention towards whites‘ ongoing racial justice activities, one of the most radical and widespread of these efforts is consistently overlooked: anti-racism workshops. Increasingly prevalent from the late 1960s through to the diversity-trainings explosion of the 1990s, this thesis demonstrates that these workshops had their roots in the black freedom, women‘s liberation and gay liberation movements. White activists from these movements led these workshops in order to examine white racial domination and privilege within both leftist social movements and larger US society.
Analysing case studies from the black freedom, women‘s liberation and gay liberation/rights movements, this thesis explores the foundational assumptions of anti-racism workshops. It seeks to explain how and why these efforts sought to frame race and racism as issues of knowledge and consciousness and why such efforts constituted radical praxis. It is argued that early anti-racism workshops were pedagogical projects that sought to confront the racial ignorance that structured the lives of whites in the US, including progressives and their liberation movements. This thesis draws attention to the efficacy and power of these workshops in terms of their epistemological effects, in the transformations they brought about in whites‘ understanding, or awareness, of racial realities

Figures Don't Lie: Spatial Humanities and Technology as Critical Thinking Tools
No full textThis presentation demonstrates the potential use of spatial humanities as both a critical thinking exercise and a computational tool in digital humanities pedagogy. “Figures Don’t Lie” presents a map of the United States that labels each state as a foreign nation according to the correlation between the GDPs of each state and their assigned countries. The map may spark classroom discussions about a range of humanities topics. Revealing the map’s underlying data shows how facts can be spun and helps students understand how the “facts” presented in the media may not be what they appear.Presented at Rutgers University's "Digital Humanities Showcase: New Methods and New Media" on January 29, 2014 (New Brunswick, N.J.)
