Laurel Stvan wrote a new post, Session Proposal: “Such a Character”, on the site THATCamp Digital Frontiers 2016 right now

This goes in the Talk about Teaching category. I’m interested in discussing and seeking suggestions on a behind-the-scenes lesson from my corpus linguistics class, which involves students working on an i […]

Laurel Stvan wrote a new post, Google Docs from two of Saturday's sessions, on the site THATCamp Texas 2012 right now

Here are the links to the Google docs created during Pedagogy and DH session this morning, and the Copyrighted and uncopyrighted materials session this afternoon. They are open to public editing, so feel free to […]

Laurel Stvan commented on the post, Session on re-using copyrighted materials, on the site THATCamp Texas 2012 right now

COCA struck a compromise–they only get to use a small snippet of each text, and then the big publishers allowed them to use their materials. But it’s a “blessing and curse” scenario. I’d like to make available […]

Thanks for posting these, Rafia!

Laurel Stvan commented on the post, Session Proposal: Inclusivity, Cultural Studies, and DH, on the site THATCamp Texas 2012 right now

Interesting issue. If coding, for example, is perceived as a gendered, or ethnicity-based hurdle, then THATCamp is a really good way to talk about ways to get more people into the clubhouse. It seems that the […]

Laurel Stvan commented on the post, Session on Pedagogy and the Digital Humanities (for Saturday), on the site THATCamp Texas 2012 right now

I am really interested in this idea, Nate. I was thinking of a similar topic. In January I put together a panel on tech tools for linguistics students at the Linguistics Society of American meeting. I’m currently […]

Here’s my first session idea: I’m compiling a corpus of both old and new media vernacular texts as part of a semantic/anthropological examination of American beliefs about health. (It’s called CADOH—Corpus of […]

Information on local hotels and restaurants is now online.

Laurel Stvan commented on the post, Workshop ideas for Friday, March 9, on the site THATCamp Texas 2012 right now

XML and Zotero! I know a bit of both and am ready to hear what works well for others. Also, any thoughts on managing copyright aspects when gathering more contemporary documents.

Laurel Stvan wrote a new post, Welcome Aboard!, on the site THATCamp Texas 2012 right now

The first 10 people have registered already! Looking forward to a great unconference in March.

Laurel Stvan wrote a new post, Looking back on THATCamp Texas, on the site THATCamp Texas 2011 right now

I’m still relishing the conversations I took part in at THATCamp Texas in Houston last month. Some of my initial thoughts on the perks of this interdisciplinary meet-up can be found in Natalie Houston’s ProfHacker […]

Laurel Stvan wrote a new post, Hashtags on Twitter, on the site THATCamp Texas 2011 right now

Great set of boot camp sessions today! Looks like we have dual hashtags going on Twitter. Those wanting to follow along should look at both #thatcamptexas and #thatcamptx.

Laurel Stvan commented on the post, Student-Generated DH Tool Reviews, on the site THATCamp Texas 2011 right now

Yes, these three session ideas seem to share a useful common thread. I, too, am interested in seeing how we can get to a method of gathering and generating “suggestions about materials on the ‘you may also like’ […]

Laurel Stvan commented on the post, What helps you be productive?, on the site THATCamp Texas 2011 right now

This sounds like a great discussion topic.

Laurel Stvan commented on the post, Combining Text-Mining and Visualization, on the site THATCamp Texas 2011 right now

I’m intrigued by this, too. With lots of data or just diachronic data, using only tables of word frequencies or changes in collocations may not be as effective as showing commonalities via different colors and […]

Laurel Stvan commented on the post, Identifying and Motivating Citizen X-ists, on the site THATCamp Texas 2011 right now

LibraryThing is the app where I’ve seen this happen the most fruitfully. They have a pretty vast crowd of people tagging, disambiguating authors, and grouping things into sequels. They’re all volunteer. I heard […]

Laurel Stvan wrote a new post, Text Tools for Grad Students, on the site THATCamp Texas 2011 right now

Here’s my second session idea: I’m a member of the Linguistic Society of America’s Technology Advisory Committee, which is putting together a panel on tech tools for linguistics students. I’d love to learn as much […]

Laurel Stvan wrote a new post, Compiling a contemporary corpus, on the site THATCamp Texas 2011 right now

There are two topics I’m interested in right now. Here’s my first session idea: I’m compiling a corpus of both old and new media vernacular texts as part of a semantic/anthropological examination of American […]
