What's next?
Roundtable
-
Research and analysis : how you find, analyze, and process your resources
-
Publication : how you share your research with the public
- Building community : how to connect with or incorporate people into your research
How does DH fit into our work?
Build with intention
- Ask why: What are the project's main goals? How can digital tools help you achieve those?
Do no harm
- Reflect on ethical impacts of sharing resources and stories on the web
Embrace failure
- Ask yourself: is the solution troubleshooting, using a new tool or model, or going low or no tech?
