I am a senior English major at SUNY Geneseo with interests in African American literature, biopolitics and the neoliberal subject, and children's literature. At Geneseo, I am a member of the varsity cross country and indoor/outdoor track and field teams. Additionally, I serve as the Academic Chair for Geneseo's charter of Sigma Tau Delta, the international English honor society, and I work as a tutor and logistic coordinator for our writing learning center. Ultimately, I wish to pursue a PhD in English literature and someday work as an English professor at a small institution like Geneseo. Outside of school, I enjoy pixar movies, fishing, camping, and travelling the country for cross country/track meets. This blog is part of a collaborative digital liberal arts seminar through the organization COPLAC, and a description of the course can be found here: http://www.coplac.org/programs/digital-liberal-arts.php

“Digital Humanities,” while not a new term to me, has until recently been a bit of an enigma. I often heard professors speak of the digital humanities, but I never entirely understood the distin...
