Hi all: we’re looking forward to getting back to class tomorrow, and will be using this week to both explore the role of visual culture in the doing of digital history and to accelerate work on your projects. Please come to class prepared to discuss Joshua Brown, “History and the Web, From the Illustrated Newspaper to Cyberspace: Visual Technologies and Interaction in the Nineteenth and Twenty-First Centuries,” and Errol Morris, “Photography as a Weapon.”

On Wednesday we’ll be discussing Philip J. Ethington’s “Los Angeles and the Problem of Urban Historical Knowledge: A Multimedia Essay to Accompany the December Issue of The American Historical Review” and talking in detail about the tools and processes you’ll use to build out your projects.
Please be in touch with us as soon as possible if you are concerned about making it to class.
Best wishes,
Luke and Tom

This data represents the kind of spending that is involved in choosing our president. The importance of so called swing states in clenching the nomination can be clearly identified by just looking at this map and seeing the kind of spending the candidates are dishing out in TV ads, particularly in the state of Ohio where both candidates are spending the most money by very long stretch of the margin with respect to the other states. Hence the reason they coined the term “battleground state”.
