Another awesome project for our UCLA 2024 DH SHOWCASE… Mapping Discrimination: Investigating the Influence of Historical Redlining on HIV Rates in Los Angeles 🗺️📍 CHECK OUT THEIR PROJECT WEBSITE LINK IN OUR BIO ✨

Description: The HivxRedlining project emerges as a response to the critical knowledge gap regarding the role of structural and systematic racism in health outcomes for individuals living with HIV/AIDS, focusing specifically on Los Angeles County, the second-largest metropolitan area in the United States according to the 2020 Census. Leveraging digitized polygons of historical redlining maps sourced from Mapping Inequality, we are conducting a novel spatial analysis to underscore the ongoing impact of racially segregated living and discriminatory housing policies on the most recent HIV data available for Los Angeles County at the zip code level.

Next up for the UCLA 2024 DH SHOWCASE we have the selected project… Happiness! CHECK OUT THEIR PROJECT WEBSITE LINK IN OUR BIO ☺️📈

Description: We aim to unearth cultural differences in the perception of happiness, particularly examining if certain cultures, like those in the West, place more emphasis on it. We also intend to explore the impact of major international and domestic events, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, on people’s happiness, seeking to understand how these occurrences alter individual perceptions and experiences of well-being. A key aspect of our study is to identify which aspects of life impacts a country’s overall happiness the most. By addressing these points, our project aims to contribute significantly to the understanding of happiness, encompassing both cultural and psychological dimensions.

What is Splash? ( Check their bio for the links! )

Splash is a one-day educational outreach program with the mission of providing accessible and exciting learning experiences to high school students and leadership and teaching experiences to UCLA students. You get to design and teach your own class about anything you are passionate about or find useful, in your own style. Then, motivated and curious high school students take ownership of their own education and broaden their horizons by learning from you! Over 50 different college campuses around the nation and abroad are participating in this initiative. We invite you to come join our community of teachers and learners at the cutting-edge of making a difference in education!

When/Where is Splash?

This year Splash will take place on Saturday, April 20th, 2024 (9am to 5pm) on UCLA campus (Kaplan Hall).

“Projects, People, Power, Praxis: Digital Humani

“Projects, People, Power, Praxis: Digital Humanities Beyond Technology”

Lunch & Public Talk with Quinn Dombrowski!

Date: February 5th, 2024
Time: 12-1:50pm
Location: Rolfe Hall 2116 Humtech Learning Lab
RSVP Link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc37XTmFLiVYHcntjjd2am-6rtlFx0DZL38ntWinE-9FDhVJg/viewform

Lunch provided & space is limited!

Technology is the most visible differentiator of the “digital” humanities, and is the focus of both curricular attention and anxiety among digital humanities practitioners. In practice, technology alone rarely makes or breaks DH projects. Whether or not a project achieves its stated goals, thoughtful project management and ethical collaboration practices can make the difference between an experience that is beneficial and generative, and one that is exploitative and nightmarish. This talk will focus on the Digital Humanities Role-Playing Game (#DHRPG) as a simulation that makes students grapple with the complex reality of managing projects with actual people, beyond the simplified framework of budgets, work plans, and charters. This game is a core component of “Project Management and Ethical Collaboration for Humanists”, offered biannually as part of Stanford’s DH Minor program. Reflecting on the game in the context of this course and DH pedagogy at Stanford more broadly, the talk will draw together narratives of DH failure, feminist infrastructure, critical making, emergency response DH, and grappling with the (in)famous question, “What is digital humanities?”, and its corollary, “Why do we do this work?”

Speaker Bio:
Quinn Dombrowski (non-binary, any pronouns are fine) is the Academic Technology Specialist in the Division of Literatures, Cultures, and Languages, and in the Library, at Stanford University. Prior to coming to Stanford in 2018, Quinn’s many DH adventures included supporting the high-performance computing cluster at UC Berkeley, running the DiRT tool directory with support from the Mellon Foundation, writing books on Drupal for Humanists and University of Chicago library graffiti, and working on the program staff of Project Bamboo, a failed digital humanities cyberinfrastructure initiative.

Today we would like to highlight a DH-related book

Today we would like to highlight a DH-related book from one of our #UCLAAlumni Professor Mindy Seu (She/They)! Click the link in the bio to see their work on Cyberfeminism Index or visit their Instagram @Mindyseu !

Professor Seu is a current Faculty at Rutgers Mason Gross School of the Arts & also teaches at UCLA’s Department of Design Media Arts (DMA) and the Yale School of Art. They were a DMA graduate (B.A.) themself! They embrace a multi-hyphenate approach to their work, including but not limited to teaching Art & Design as a professor, curating art shows, and creating unique projects.

Professor Seu published Cyberfeminism Index with the hopes that it will serve as an encyclopedia that collects and revises the history of online activism and net art (internet-based art) that pertains to practicing Feminism in our digital spaces for the past three decades.

So… what is Cyberfeminism? Cyberfeminism is a very porous branch of Feminism; it is not a distinct movement but rather an amalgamation of various efforts that are united with the goal of creating an understanding of the critical use of technology to support better gender equality, which could be used across time zones and time frames. For example, Cyberfeminism closely examines the feedback loop of how the internet impacts society and how people impact the internet through their digital traces.

Cyberfeminism shares similar goals with the field of Digital Humanities; both disciplines are constantly thinking about how Humanities can be shaped via digital tools. Similarly to how Digital Humanities could be used as a new approach to constantly revising the history of Humanities, Cyberfeminism index essentially does the same thing within the domain of internet history.

You can see the full project on Professor Seu’s website at [https://mindyseu.com/](https://mindyseu.com/) or the Cyberfeminism website at [https://cyberfeminismindex.com/](https://cyberfeminismindex.com/) or on their Instagram @MindySeu!

Highlighting another student #dhproject ! In the

Highlighting another student #dhproject !

In the Winter Quarter, UCLA DH students enrolled in Digital Humanities 120: Social Media Data Analytics with Dr. Ashley Sanders @dr.ashleysanders

In this class, students learned how to conduct network and sentiment analysis of social media data, specifically Twitter data.
The group of students we are highlighting today analyzed social media data in regard to education and the marketing field, and the overlap between these two sectors does understand how these sectors interpreted the release of Chat GPT!

Jefferson Shared "One of the reasons why we chose to focus on the marketing and education sectors is because of Chat GPT's expertise in working with language, its ability to conversate and to ideate. Both marketing and education are two fields that can heavily benefit from these attributes, therefore a prime space for our inquiry. "

Noa decided to take Dh 120 since "I was interested in learning more about the methodologies used to study social media data and how it can be used to get a better understanding of our world. I was especially interested in learning about sentiment analysis and network analysis."

Jefferson will be attending graduate school at Emily Carr University of Arts + Design and will be earning a Master's of Design. He hopes to use his experience working in the music industry and his knowledge of design to contribute and innovate in the music industry.

Noa is a 3rd-year Cognitive Science major and Dh minor interested in data science, behavior, product management, and design.

"Digital humanities has given me a window into so many incredible data visualization tools, and given me a critical lens for interpreting data. I am interested in how data can be used to better understand ourselves and society."
