Welcome to Trevor from English at Queen’s:
I think that I have tenuous grasp on the capabilities the digital world has on improving research in English Literature. That is to say, I see the intersections but I couldn’t tell you how the traffic lights work. I am hoping THATCamp introduces me to an economy of thought that I know little about. My main area of interest is Indigenous Literature. If we consider the role of the digital humanities in archival work and information management more generally, I think there are valuable insights to be gleaned from a workshop such as THATCamp. I am hoping to apply what I learn in February to mobilizing a digital footprint of my work in Indigenous literature. A necessary first step in the currently on going demonstrations of Idle No More — a movement I feel like the digital medium has propelled into the mainstream with an alarming velocity. I would like to learn how to contribute. THATCamp seems like a logical first step for me.
