By: Yoshiko Oka I was selected as one of the recipients of the Provost’s Digital Innovation Training Grant for the 2018-2019 academic year, which enabled me to attend the “Python and Machine Learning Bootcamp Series” at the General Assembly. This blog post is about my experience with this program. As a doctorate student in economics, …
Training Course: Data Science with Python Pandas 101 by: Yu-Hsuan Liu I recommend that people who want to improve their Python skills further and are interested in data science could take this class. After taking this class, I think this class is for basic to medium level python users. Persons who want to take this …
In April of 2019, the NY Times intiated The Privacy Project, an series dedicated to exploring privacy issues in a digital world. Everything written for this series can be found in this archive. It’s A LOT, and much of which seems worth reviewing. So where should you begin? First, this bibliography they compiled, which includes …
Picture the last time you sat down to read an article for class. If your university experience was anything like most students’, chances are, you were alone. While solitary reading has benefits and is a common aspect of learning in higher education, it may not be the most effective way to read. Research suggests that …
The Apollo Guidance Computer (AGC) code facilitated the Moon landing, a feat whose fiftieth anniversary we celebrate this month. As the Moon landing represents the achievement of what that code enabled, my new, co-authored book Moonbit (punctum books, 2019) seeks to highlight what that code said along the way. Moonbit celebrates the way in …

As a graduate student with (very) basic knowledge on digital humanities, the DHSI with its bootcamp atmosphere proved to be a great place to start exploring the field and learning more about how to …
Last month, our HASTAC scholars presented our work in the Digital Scholars’ Showcase. Please check the following link for the presentation I gave: https://prezi.com/view/BDhH0VHc8OPWfF5bHv24/ In my brief talk, I shared how I came to DH via happenstance when a classmate of mine shared their engagement with DH on campus. After meeting with the staff at …
Initially, I conceptualized this webinar as an attempt to articulate a pedagogical move beyond the traditional paper. As an English instructor, I (Rachel Willis) am often struck by how inadequate a paper can be in terms of figuring out what students know. I have recently begun offering live grading for students, and this practice reinforced for …
You may have heard the news or a passing reference that the Graduate Center has accepted its first born digital dissertation, but might be wondering what that actually means? Especially since all dissertations start off as some sort of word-processing document and end up as PDFs, both digital formats, in CUNY Academic Works. What was …
