Inspiring Women in Jamaica

 Inspiring Women in Jamaica


    Hello, again my wonderful readers. I know it has been quite some time since my last post but today I have some exciting news to share with you. Over the past few months of learning and experimenting with Digital Humanities and Digital Humanities projects I have come to develop a Digital Humanities Project of my own.

    This blog post will give a brief introduction to the project along with instructions on how to navigate and explore the project to get access to all the information provided and to better understand the project.

    First off to introduce you to my project which is called Inspiring Women in Jamaica; is a map of Jamaica with tagged locations associated with the women mentioned in each tag. Each tag is filled with information on a specific inspiring woman in Jamaica. The information in each tag includes a title (which is the name of the woman represented and when she was born) and short paragraphs, pictures and for some of these women, I’ve included videos that will allow you to get to know these women a bit better. The main purpose of this project is to acknowledge these women for their great work by making an impact on people within/from Jamaica (including myself), people within the West Indies, and People across the entire Globe.

    To help you navigate through the project, all the tags are located on the map f Jamaica. To help you find all the 9 tags I have made for you to see there is a text box that lists the different tags which can help you navigate to each tag. Also, each tag has a symbol and color which represents the woman mention to help you tell them apart and give them more character. In each tag, I mentioned before that there are pictures and for some women videos included. All of these are included in the tag, to get to them you can just click on the arrow pointing to the left (>) to skip along the pictures and possibly pictures provided.

    I must note that this project is incomplete meaning that there are still some women not mentioned in this project and I would love it if anyone had anymore more suggestions and/or more information on the women already mentioned. Collaboration to complete this project is absolutely encouraged.

    With all of that said I hope you guys enjoy this project, I hope you learn some and most importantly become inspired no matter who you are to be your genuine self and to chase after your dreams. You can find this project at INSPIRING WOMEN IN JAMAICA.

    Until next time, stay safe and healthy.


~Bye~

Oral History

Oral History Hello all, how have you guys been since my last post? I hope you’re all doing ok. Today we will be going into another aspect under Digital Humanities which will be Oral History. Oral history is “ the collection and study of historical information using sound recordings of interviews with people having personal knowledge of past events” (Google Dictionary). Some examples of these are podcasts and interviews.   I know you must be wondering, how is oral history any different from a photograph or written history? Well, I can say from a viewer’s perspective and from a participant’s perspective the experience is very different. When we listen to oral history there’s more context to the story or event, meaning that you will get a better understanding of what the person has to say by the way they react to different things and the tone of voice they use, the emotions that they express through their language, etc. Oral history can be very personal so whenever you listen to it...

What is Digital Humanities?

    What is Digital Humanities? Hello again, since we have already been introduced, I will dive into my thoughts so far on what Digital Humanities is. Last time in my introduction I gave a brief explanation of what I thought Digital Humanities was and now I am going to go more into dept and expound on the idea. Today I will also evaluate a Digital Humanities Project to give a better understanding of Digital humanities on a general level. Digital Humanities is how we gather information, study that information, and the findings or conclusions that we come to after the interpretation of all the knowledge we have gained using digital tools. Digital tools can be any platform on the internet where one can use to upload information or use information that was already on the internet like online videos, images, still and moving texts, etc., and then it is posted as a Digital Humanities Project. This platform, Blogger.com, is one example of platforms where you will find Digital Pro...

Introduction

Welcome to my Blog Hello all, welcome to my blog. I'm Raheema Morris and I am an international college student majoring in Business Management at  Saint Francis College . Most of my free time is spent listening to music all day every day and reading  Webtoon   comics. I also have been  teaching myself new crafts and such, like crocheting swimsuits and other apparel for the past year.  However, on this blog, we will be taking a look into Digital Humanities (DH) by providing information, experimenting, and making use of digital tools. It is basically how we study and interpret the different cultures and societies around the world and the knowledge that we gain from this. It also includes the study of how the different forms of humanities should be interpreted and what effect they have on its audience or the public.  If you are not familiar with Digital Humanities this will be a learning experience for both of us, so I hope you stay tuned for more pos...
