Book excerpt: This study examines the experiences of high school students who participated in the 2011 Black Belt 100 Lenses Summer Camp, a participatory media program implemented in Alabama's rural Black Belt region. A multimethod bricolage approach was employed in order to gain diverse perspectives through interviews, focus groups, surveys, and analysis of participant photographs and writings. Diverse theoretical perspectives--constructivism, critical pedagogy, Paulo Freire's Education for Critical Consciousness, poststructuralism, and feminist theory--informed my analysis and findings. Analysis of participant interviews led to the emergence of the overarching concepts seeing differently and getting out there as metaphors of experience. These concepts frame a discussion of the interactions students had with one another to form meaning during and after the camp. Connections are drawn between the structured and unstructured points of interaction during the camp and the following learning and innovation skills and processes: creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, communication, and confidence. Students reported the development of all of these skills and the processes and environments leading to their development are discussed. This study also examines relevant literature on participatory photography projects, including photovoice and Literacy Through Photography, and the commonalities and distinctions between Black Belt 100 Lenses and other projects around the world. Following a critical pedagogic commitment to place and local knowledge, a discussion of the Black Belt region and students' relationships to their communities is included. Ultimately, this study makes an argument for the importance of diverse interaction in a creative learning environment and the conditions and impacts of the development of learning and innovation skills and confidence. Although the study is not intended to provide a road map for the development of similar participatory projects, there is a great deal of information included on the development, theoretical influences, and practical considerations that have formed Black Belt 100 Lenses. This study is valuable for a range of people from community-based arts practitioners, educators, methodologists, photographers, community developers, and people with an interest in the Black Belt region.

The decade also marked the arrival of Paul "Bear" Bryant as head coach of Alabama's football team and the majority of Frank Anthony Rose's tenure as president--a period characterized by race mediation and increases in enrollment, assets, and academic standards. For the next 50 years, sports, education, cultural and recreational opportunities, and business developments contributed to the city and the lifestyles of its residents.

Gerald Ford), writer Richard Yates (Revolutionary Road), actress Sela Ward, and quarterback Joe Namath.

Download or read book Digital Humanities for Librarians written by Emma Annette Wilson and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-01-15 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Digital Humanities For Librarians. Some librarians are born to digital humanities; some aspire to digital humanities; and some have digital humanities thrust upon them. Digital Humanities For Librarians is a one-stop resource for librarians and LIS students working in this growing new area of academic librarianship. The book begins by introducing digital humanities, addressing key questions such as, “What is it?”, “Who does it?”, “How do they do it?”, “Why do they do it?”, and “How can I do it?”. This broad overview is followed by a series of practical chapters answering those questions with step-by-step approaches to both the digital and the human elements of digital humanities librarianship. Digital Humanities For Librarians covers a wide range of technologies currently used in the field, from creating digital exhibits, archives, and databases, to digital mapping, text encoding, and computational text analysis (big data for the humanities). However, the book never loses sight of the all-important human component to digital humanities work, and culminates in a series of chapters on management and personnel strategies in this area. These chapters walk readers through approaches to project management, effective collaboration, outreach, the reference interview for digital humanities, sustainability, and data management, making this a valuable resource for administrators as well as librarians directly involved in digital humanities work. There is also a consideration of budgeting questions, including strategies for supporting digital humanities work on a shoestring. Special features include: Case studies of a wide range of projects and management issues Digital instructional documents guiding readers through specific digital technologies and techniques An accompanying website featuring digital humanities tools and resources and digital interviews with librarians and scholars leading the way in digital humanities work across North America, from a range of larger and smaller institutions Whether you are a librarian primarily working in digital humanities for the first time, a student hoping to do so, or a librarian in a cognate area newly-charged with these responsibilities, Digital Humanities For Librarians will be with you every step of the way, drawing on the author’s experiences and those of a network of librarians and scholars to give you the practical support and guidance needed to bring your digital humanities initiatives to life.
