Graduate Fellow
Fall 2024 - Spring 2025
The CHI Graduate Fellowship is an opportunity to learn more about approaches to digitizing cultural heritage and offers a way to develop your own project. Through workshops, collaborative work with my cohort, and experimenting with different technologies, I learned that importance of digital heritage work as well as key aspects of community engagement and ethical considerations. From this knowledge gained, I was able to develop my dissertation research that focuses on Main Street heritage in small communities and how digital technologies can be used for preservation and immersion into such heritage. I am thankful for the experience and for the wonderful colleagues that helped and supported me along the way.
Courses taken that relate to research work in CHI:
ANP 890A - Individual Readings course [Digital Humanities Literature] (Fall 2021)
HST 990 - Independent Study [Digital / Public History] (Spring 2022)

Final Digital Heritage Project
(GitHub Pages, see below)
Digital Humanities Research Showcase
I presented about the progress of my research and how I would be including digital technologies within heritage work at the DH Research Showcase in November 2024. Audience members were interested in how my project would be developed.

Final Project
My final CHI project consisted of two components:
An augmented reality experience
An educational website
Both explore Main Street heritage in small communities, particularly a case study of Romeo, Michigan, and how anthropologists can use digital methods to help preserve such heritage and promote engagement and immersion. These components will also be included in my dissertation.
I used ThingLink AR to create the AR experience and GitHub pages to create the website.
