DH Praxis Data Project: Building a Finnegans Wake dataset

By Gregory Rocco | Published: November 7, 2016

Who knew that Finnegans Wake would one day be reduced to cells in a spreadsheet? For a long time, I wanted to do experiments with Finnegans Wake and data visualizations. This recent assignment gave me this chance so I quickly started to try to think about it. The first thing I had to do was figure […]

Zine Content Comparison Introduction As the curator and cataloger of a zine library with holdings going back to the early 1990s I am sometimes asked to comment on how zines have changed over time. I read and catalog zines out of time, as they rise to the top of the processing queue, which makes it […]

Data Visualization with Micki Kaufman

By Eduard Boguslavsky | Published: November 3, 2016

First off, let me say that this was not a tutorial. I followed along on some of work Micki Kaufman did in Tableau and Gephi, but this session was not meant to be a tutorial. Instead, we learned from Micki’s tremendous experience the practices that make effective, scholarly presentations of data. I will highlight some […]

Marina Abramović interviewed by Manoush Zomorodi

By Eduard Boguslavsky | Published: November 3, 2016

This is not particularly related to our conversations, but likely of tangential interest to some of you. Note to Self is a podcast that discusses the reticent, even uncomfortable, but necessary relationship we have with technology that is everywhere. I find the conversations there very relevant to our moment. The actual interview begins at 4:30. […]

Workshop: “Introduction to iOS Programming”

By Marti Massana Ferre | Published: November 3, 2016

Recently, I attended the “Introduction to iOS Programming” workshop, led by Jeremy March from the CUNY Digital Fellows. I must say that, before this event, I had no knowledge of iOS or Android applications at all, so I found this overview of the workflow regarding digital apps very useful. Besides, the resources provided by Jeremy […]

Humanities and space

By Iuri Moscardi | Published: November 2, 2016

What I found relevant, in last weeks reading for our classes, is the relation established between space and humanities. At a first sight, indeed, and also basing my thoughts on what I previously learned and how I previously studied humanities, I was sure that space does not deal with humanities. I did not see a […]

One might say that “Tweeting? We all know how to do that”. Yet, personal tweeting is different than tweeting for a particular event. Simply, the latter requires a basic planning, in parallel to the conference.

  • Welcome to Digital Praxis 2016-2017

    Encouraging students think about the impact advancements in digital technology have on the future of scholarship from the moment they enter the Graduate Center, the Digital Praxis Seminar is a year-long sequence of two three-credit courses that familiarize students with a variety of digital tools and methods through lectures offered by high-profile scholars and technologists, hands-on workshops, and collaborative projects. Students enrolled in the two-course sequence will complete their first year at the GC having been introduced to a broad range of ways to critically evaluate and incorporate digital technologies in their academic research and teaching. In addition, they will have explored a particular area of digital scholarship and/or pedagogy of interest to them, produced a digital project in collaboration with fellow students, and established a digital portfolio that can be used to display their work. The two connected three-credit courses will be offered during the Fall and Spring semesters as MALS classes for master’s students and Interdisciplinary Studies courses for doctoral students.

    The syllabus for the course can be found at cuny.is/dps17.
