SUMMARY:Digital Brown Bag | "Why Don't You Just Make a Map?" When Digital Projects are Part of the Writing Process
DESCRIPTION:Just make a map. Seems simple enough\, right? That’s what 
 Ashton Merck thought when\, while writing her third dissertation chapter\, 
 she decided to create a series of maps and charts in an attempt to answer 
 two of her research questions. And then the resulting visualizations 
 changed the argument of her chapter. \n\nIn this Digital Brown Bag talk 
 Ashton (History doctoral candidate) describes the work involved in this 
 deceptively simple data visualization project as a jumping-off point for a 
 bigger conversation about the possibilities and pitfalls associated with 
 constructing original datasets as part of a larger project\, or even as 
 part of the research and writing process. What happens when seemingly 
 simple research questions get out of hand? How will you know whether the 
 labor of gathering the information will even be worth it in the end? When 
 and how should you make peace with your “messy\,” incomplete data? What 
 are the limits of OCR and automation in constructing datasets? And will 
 anyone accept your findings as valid?
