Hi, My name is Emma Zhang (she/her), and I’m from China. I’m a sophomore interested in Cognitive Science and Computer Science. Aside from that, I’m a theater person and been doing relevant work on campus. This is my first term working as a DHA. I really like the interdisciplinary nature of digital humanities and how DH projects tell valuable stories, so I would love to be part of these projects.
For me, I value the experience of working with a team of supporting DH professionals, as I get to develop skills both in and out of the field. I also look forward to investigate into ways we present a story to our audience. My main takeaways from the training are the mindsets DH people have. Just like suggested in Data Feminism, data are more than itself — it can be used to convey stories and meanings. I wish to continue learning and applying the creative mindsets to actual project. Also, I would love to be part of a project visible online, and value invisible efforts put into those websites.
I’m very excited to begin my new role as DHA and look forward to contributing to the team. I am ready to learn from everyone and allow my creativity grow.
