Main contributors:
Helge-Johannes Marahrens
Summary:
Python has become the lead instrument for Data Scientists to collect, clean, and analyze data. As a general purpose programming language, Python is flexible and well-suited to handle large datasets. This workshop is designed for Social Scientists, who are interested in using Python, but have no idea where to start. Our goal is to "de-mystify" Python and to teach Social Scientists how to manipulate and examine data that deviate from the clean, rectangular survey format. Computers with Python pre-loaded are available in the SSRC on a first-come, first-served basis. This workshop is intended for social scientists who are new to programming. No experience required.

203. Investigating AV Use in Humanities Research: Results from the Avalon User Needs Assessment (41:02)

Date:
2018-09-12
Main contributors:
Cameron, Jon
Summary:
Which software tools and services are common when working with time-based media in humanities research? What are common frustrations? How do researchers access, annotate, and search across digital AV collections? While researcher use of physical and textual media has been a frequent subject of study, few investigations have been made on humanities researchers who do significant work with audiovisual materials. Through interviews, observations, and diaries of research activities, the Avalon User Needs Assessment study aimed to learn more about these researchers and their practices. In this presentation, observations and results from the study will be discussed: information on how researchers access and reference materials, common media formats used, frequent pitfalls and challenges, and analysis of software they find essential to their day to day activities. Discussion will include common needs and desired features, and how software platforms such as Avalon Media System can be improved to meet the unique needs of research users.

Main contributors:
Indiana Disability History Project
Summary:
“It was my time to play my part in the circle of life.” On June 13, 2018, Jamie Beck became the first person in Indiana to have her guardianship terminated and a Supported Decision-Making agreement put in place. Jamie had been adjudged as incapacitated eight years prior. With no parent living, Dan Stewart, president of Achieva Resources Corp., Inc., was appointed as her permanent legal guardian. Jamie was placed in a nursing home. By the time the Wayne County Superior Court judge granted her petition, 28 year-old Jamie was employed in Muncie and living in an apartment with a roommate. In this interview excerpt, Jamie and Dan discuss the process and the challenges leading up to Jamie’s historic accomplishment. Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb signed Senate Enrolled Act 380 into law on April 24, 2019. The law recognizes Supported Decision-Making Agreements as a valid way for someone to demonstrate decision-making capacity in Indiana and requires Supported Decision-Making and other less restrictive alternatives to be considered before the court will appoint a guardian. “I believe I am capable of doing it on my own, but with help,” Jamie told the judge. She and Dan were interviewed on October 25, 2018.

249. John Rappaport, '62 (03:42)

Date:
2018
Main contributors:
Rappaport, John H., 1940-
Summary:
Since 1968, John Rappaport has brought laughter, fun and drama into the lives of the American public as a writer and producer of such all-time television classics as Laugh-In, All in the Family and M*A*S*H. Born in Chicago and raised in Highland Park, Illinois, Rappaport enrolled at IU in fall 1958. He began as a business major, but switched to radio and television/psychology midway through his sophomore year after joining the Indiana Memorial Union Radio Club and hosting a Sunday night jazz record show on WTTS-AM. As a junior, Rappaport continued his jazzy ways on the powerful WFIU-FM from IU’s Radio-TV Quonset hut. There, he hosted a daily afternoon show of jazz albums and improvised chatter. Rappaport also dabbled in standup comedy, performing at the “Freshman Tyrolean” dance and “Spring Fling” and serving as emcee during the two-day IU Sing competition at the IU Auditorium. Rappaport had a pattern of making spontaneous life-altering decisions. After leaving IU in January 1963, he moved back to the Chicago area, where he worked as a pop — but not rock — DJ. Nine months later, at 3 a.m. after a New Year’s Eve party during a major snowstorm, he blew a tire on Chicago’s tri-state tollway and had to change it in a suit and no coat. The next day, he quit his job and moved to California, hoping to be a DJ in a more agreeable climate. Initially, only the climate was agreeable. After stints as an ad agency copywriter, radio station promotion manager, DJ’s comedy sidekick and syndicated radio comedy writer, Rappaport launched his new career in 1969 when his spec material landed him a staff writing gig on the No. 1 TV show Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In. He wrote for the show until its cancellation in 1973. During his four years there, he penned 100 episodes and also wrote two comedy specials, including the Emmy-nominated first Lily Tomlin Special. Itching to break out of the sketch comedy mold, he landed a pitch meeting and then a script assignment at another No. 1-rated show, All in the Family. The script was a hit, and he was hired by Norman Lear as a staff story editor, splitting time between All in the Family and its sizzling spinoff, Maude. He next moved to The Odd Couple and eventually the legendary war dramedy, M*A*S*H, where he served as head writer and supervising producer for its final four years, topped off with the two-and-a-half hour finale, which was the most viewed episode in television history. Rappaport also wrote and produced seven pilots for his company, Leeway Productions (named after his wife, Lee) and worked on films featuring screen legends Jane Fonda, Richard Dreyfuss and Burt Reynolds, and The Godfather producer Al Ruddy. He also spent a season on Night Court and was the executive producer of Gung Ho. Along the way, Rappaport garnered eight primetime Emmy nominations, four People’s Choice Awards, five Writers Guild Best Script award nominations, three Humanitas Prizes and a Golden Globe. He also served on the Producers Guild of America Board of Directors for 14 years and is in the National Association of Broadcasters and the Producers Guild of America halls of fame. To top it all off, two of his three L.A.-born and -raised children are graduates and devoted lovers of IU.

279. Lawrence Carter-Long Interview (27:57)

Main contributors:
Indiana Disability History Project
Summary:
"There's a new crop of people that are saying, wait a minute, I'm not ashamed of anything. I don't need to distance myself from anything. In fact, I am a disabled person first." In this interview, Lawrence Carter-Long discusses his views on the evolution from people-first to identity-first language, and changes in the way disability is depicted in the media. "With more disabled people being creative behind-the-scenes," using new, more direct digital outlets, he has noticed that the stories we are seeing have more complexity, depth and authenticity. "The gatekeepers no longer have the same types of power." Public Affairs Specialist for the National Council on Disability at the time he was interviewed in 2015, Lawrence grew up in Indianapolis and Terre Haute. He was program coordinator for the Disabilities Network of New York City when he undertook the Gimp Project, a collaboration with dance choreographer Heidi Latsky. As a young person, Lawrence says modern dance was never an option for him. "It wouldn't even enter my consciousness because of my physicality and because of having cerebral palsy." However, he recalls a theater teacher at North Vigo High School in Terre Haute, Indiana who was pivotal in encouraging him "to do things that I wouldn't have imagined possible." Lawrence also discusses disability and film, talking about his experience curating and co-hosting the Turner Classic Movies festival, The Projected Image: A History of Disability in Film. The 2012 series reached 87 million people. "It was a fantastic opportunity to look back as a way to position ourselves and to say, how do we want to move forward." Earlier, Lawrence laid the groundwork for The Projected Image with a successful, experimental festival in New York City, "Dis This." He was interviewed at the Indiana Governor's Council for People with Disabilities conference in Indianapolis.

296. Making Data with Markup: From the Classroom to Digital Scholarly Edition of Accounts (1:20:54)

Date:
2019-09-06
Main contributors:
Institute for Digital Arts and Humanities, Kathryn Tomasek
Summary:
When students transcribe and mark up primary sources, they learn the kind of close reading that is necessary for historical interpretation. When their professors teach transcription and markup, they can discover new research projects and make an impact on their fields. In 2004, Tomasek began to work with colleagues in the Wheaton College Archives and in Library and Information Services to build transcription and markup into an undergraduate course in nineteenth-century U.S. Women’s History. They used a scaffolded assignment that allowed students to build on skills developed throughout the semester, and students reported real investment in the life of the daughter of a Baptist minister whose journal they transcribed and marked up. Summer interns who did similar work with the pocket diaries and travel journal of Eliza Baylies Wheaton, a member of the institution’s founding family, did extra unassigned work tracking down the graves of people mentioned in the documents in town cemeteries. By 2009, the Wheaton team had developed a successful model for teaching students close reading, but they had run out of “easy” documents like journals and pocket diaries. So Tomasek and her colleagues turned to the daybook kept by a member of the institution’s founding family. A student research assistant who attended DHSI and took the Introduction to TEI course with Tomasek became the local expert and assisted in teaching a module focused on transcription and markup of the daybook. As is always the case, some students took to the assignment more readily than others. Pairing students to work on a page spread worked better than asking individual students to take on the work themselves. Successful students found stories in their page spreads and wrote real historical depictions of the facts and their significance. Tomasek, her library partners, and the student assistant taught the module for two years before receiving a Start-Up award for further investigation of markup for account books from the Office of Digital Humanities at the National Endowment for the Humanities in 2011. This award marked a transition in Tomasek’s research agenda to a focus on account books as humanities sources and the value of digital scholarly editions for reuse by other researchers. The small community of practice that began in summer 2011 expanded with the help of a Bilateral Digital Humanities award from the German Research Foundation and the NEH in 2015. Tomasek found the use of the classroom module to be slower than ideal for producing a full edition of the day book, and she transitioned to more intensive work with summer interns in 2015. A group of those interns completed a first-run transcription and markup of the daybook in 2016, and an alpha version is part of a data set that includes excerpts from the Financial Papers of George Washington, accounts from the Stagville plantation in North Carolina, Matthew Carey’s Printers File, and accounts of the Uihlein family, founders of the Schlitz brewing company.

297. Mapping Barnum, Bailey, and Cody: American Entertainment in the Global Nineteenth Century (54:12)

Date:
2018-03-07
Main contributors:
Story, Daniel
Summary:
Circuses and other traveling shows were a staple of nineteenth-century American society, but just how American were they? This project uses digital mapping together with traditional archival research to investigate the geographic reach, business networks, and cultural significance of three iconic American shows: Cooper, Bailey, and Company’s Great International; the Barnum and Bailey Circus; and Buffalo Bill’s Wild West show. Mapping their routes from the 1870s to the 1910s reveals how thoroughly they were embedded in global entertainment circuits—Cooper and Bailey travelled to Australia, New Zealand, India, and a handful of South American countries in the late 1870s; Buffalo Bill visited countries in Europe between 1887 and 1892 and again from 1902 to 1906; and Barnum and Bailey toured extensively in Europe from 1898 to 1902. Furthermore, in 1899, James Bailey officially relocated the headquarters of his circus to England, establishing the publically traded company Barnum and Bailey, Limited. By contrast, none of these shows travelled consistently to the west coast of the United States until 1907. Analysis of these entertainment geographies helps us rethink standard narratives of national integration in the U.S. in the second half of the nineteenth century and recasts institutions traditionally understood as quintessentially American in a transnational and global light.
