Hi!
I am just now starting to think about how I can conceptualize my dissertation project as a digital humanities project. This September, I initiated a project of listing digital humanities projects of interest to/within the field of performing arts, a first step on the way towards my second comprehensive exams in the Ph.D. program in Theatre here at the GC. I am planning on doing one of my three fields on digital humanities in the performing arts. In the long run, I am intending on creating a non-traditional, potentially digital born dissertation about male bodies on the 20th and 21st century burlesque stages of New York City. By listing these projects, I am intending on getting some inspiration and more extensive knowledge of previous work that has been done, and finding my own voice in that flow of intellectual work.
I just thought I’d introduce myself here, and let you know that I’d be super interested in joining some kind of conversation around DH at the GC.
I am also the co-director of HASTAC’s Scholars program, which some of you may know about: http://www.hastac.org/scholars.
All best,
Kalle
