Duke Digital Scholarship Services invites you to join us for our first two DH Sandbox Chats. Join us for discussions about digital humanities research methodologies, textual analysis, digital research tools, ‘holistic’ online reading practices, and collaborative online research commentary.
Our DH Sandbox Chats are informal events designed to foster discussion, review, critique, and conversation about digital humanities projects. Each Chat will feature one or two presentations from a wide range of students, scholars, and professionals working on Digital Humanities projects that are either nearly finished, proposed, or in progress. A casual but critically-focused dialogue will follow.
All are welcome.
Light refreshments will be served.
Wednesday January 28, 2015 at 4:00pm in the Edge Digital Studio.
Cyropaedia – Norman Sandridge, Cyropaedia.org
In this informal show-and-tell digital humanities project presentation Norman Sandridge will describe the efforts to create a “holistic” online reading experience of Xenophon’s Education of Cyrus (c. 365 BCE): an experience that incorporates literary and historiographic perspectives, that features all available multimedia as well as syntactical and grammatical aides, that can work well in a traditional course, and that can award scholarly credit to contributors. Dr. Sandridge will discuss the project’s digital features and the procedures used to increase participation and will then open the floor for conversation.

Visualizing the New Woman – Hannah Jacobs
In this informal presentation, Hannah Jacobs will detail how her ‘Visualizing the New Woman’ project investigates through text analysis and interactive information visualization definitions of the New Woman and the New Woman discursive network as represented in a collection of over 50 texts published in the United States and British Empire in 1893-1894. The project’s purpose is both to highlight the intricacies of the New Woman discourse and to explore digital techniques, with a focus on visualization that can be used to present macro- an microanalyses of corpora. The talk will focus on text analysis, digital methodology, and visualization and we will then open the floor for conversation.
