DSSRF students work under the guidance of librarians and other Library & IT staff in an 8-week long summer program, in which they learn about digital humanities tools and methods, and produce their own research projects. Below are some examples of projects from past DSSRF students.
Meredith Newman ’21 (Economics/Environmental Studies) used mapping, timelines, and Tableau to examine environmental impacts and sustainability issues in U.S. cities in her project, Case Studies in Urban Sustainability: Los Angeles and New York City. Meredith’s project won “Best Poster” in the Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences category at the 2019 Susquehanna Valley Undergraduate Research Symposium.
Yanyu (Lily) Li ’21 (Education/Psychology) used timelines, mapping, Tableau, and image annotation to explore the evolution of Chinese food in her project, Chinese Food in the U.S: A Story About Cultural Adaptation.
Abby Dolan ’19 (Music) used Tableau to create interactive, digital instruments as a teaching tool for her project, Gamelan Learning.
Tyler Candelora ’19 (Comparative Humanities/Spanish) used mapping, timelines, and interactive galleries to illustrate monuments to coal miners in the PA Anthracite Coal Region in his project, Pennsylvania Anthracite Coal Miners: Self-Representation and Memorialization.
Minglu Xu ’20 used mapping and timelines to illustrate the growth of internet industries in her project, China’s Internet Wave.
All of the past DSSRF projects can be found online in Bucknell’s Digital Commons.
