Description
Catherine DeRose is the Engagement and Outreach Manager for the Yale Digital Humanities Lab, for which she teaches workshops on data analysis and visualization, meets with researchers for project consultations, and directs the Digital Humanities Teaching Fellows program. Catherine received her PhD in English literature and minor in Humanities Computing and Design at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where she taught courses on British literature and composition.
Catherine was one of the founding members of the Mellon-funded Visualizing English Print project, and she has collaborated on digital humanities initiatives with Carnegie Hall, the Folger Shakespeare Library, and the HistoryMakers. She was on the project team that received one of the inaugural Digital Extension Grants from the American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS) for Photogrammar, and she won the New Arts Venture Challenge for Victorian Eyes. Her research, which has appeared in Victorian Review and Significance, brings together scholarship on media studies, information history, and history of the book to think about the expansion of print in the nineteenth century alongside mass digitization today.
Catherine's talk will be entitled: Introduction to Programming Design: User-Centered Digital Humanities
As a field, we have long debated whether or not humanists need to become programmers in order to participate fully in the digital humanities. Less discussed is whether or not we need to become designers. While we ultimately may not need to become professional designers (just as we don’t need to become full-stack developers), we should be more deliberate in the design choices we make, especially with public-facing projects. Responding to the symposium’s call to take up “The Many Faces of Digital Humanities,” this talk will consider the many users of digital humanities and offer a few concrete ways we might approach user-centered design in our research, workshops, and classrooms.
