Often in DH work we tell stories about people, with data. What are the ethical implications of sharing information that may be sensitive to others? How do we share histories that may be painful or contested in a thoughtful ways? Who has authority when constructing narratives? How can we foster inclusion and collaboration, and avoid objectification and exploitation?

Proposal: Productivity web site
I’m interested in designing and building (or figuring out how to build) a site for tracking projects and productivity. This would be aimed at creative or scholarly writers, but I could see it being used in other ways. Productivity is a perennial problem for writers. Building the right set of tools, reminders, and a light social aspect to it could make this a useful tool for a lot of groups of users, including students.
Proposal: Digital Storytelling
I have experience with Sway and Spark as digital storytelling tools, as well as VSDC and Premiere, albeit not extensively. These tools, and many others, can be used to create richly illustrated digital stories along with audio and video, and sometimes interactive content. Stories can be fiction or nonfiction, they can be for teaching, sharing experiences, offering instructions, and much more. Join us, share the tools you know so we can build a list, and bring some media to create a digital story of your own.
