WELCOME TO MY BLOG!

Hi there! My name is Shannon, and I am a second-year student at University College Cork, pursuing a BA in Digital Humanities & Information Technology with a minor in Sociology. On this blog, you can discover some of the projects I have worked on and the discussions I have explored throughout my studies. 

So… what is digital humanities?

“Bringing digital computing technologies to bear in humanities-based modes of inquiry, and/or bringing humanities-based modes of inquiry to bear in digital computing technologies.”
– Kathleen Fitzgerald

BA Digital Humanities & Information

During my degree, I explore how technology and computational methods can be applied to the study of culture, history, and society. Below, you will find my projects from the first and second year, organized by Digital Humanities, Computer Science, and Sociology modules.
