DIY Portfolios

Expectations

This workshop is intended to spark further thinking about your own portfolio or any other Web projects you might want to explore.
We are each in our own place, with our own priorities, knowledge, inclinations, habits, and preferences. All of those will affect the kinds of solutions and approaches we each migth take in make a Web thing.
Plan to meet and chat with me afterwards about what you'd like to do! Email jeremy@virginia.edu to schedule some time to work with me.

In the process of doing this review, I personally began to see benefits in possible shifts for how we come to terms with—and reconsider terms for—brokenness, rot, and decay in Digital Humanities scholarship specifically but also in human creations more broadly.
