What an honor to share my 1st #DHmakes project w @scholarslab.bsky.social! This is a career high for me. It’s been so enriching exploring the world of data physicalization + critical making. I’ve discovered a crafty side I didn’t know I had AND it’s been transforming how I teach #DigitalHumanities 😍
