This is an old post and is probably extremely cringe. Please understand that I have moved on from these ideas. Still, it may contain some nuggets that point to some continuity in my thinking over the years, which is why I decided to post it here.
The honours project… it is finished!
So I finished my last class of the year today. Actually, it was the last class of my undergraduate degree here at Carleton. Although I still have some exams, it still feels like a weight has been lifted. I also submitted the final copy of my honours project, and even though I enjoyed doing it I’m glad it’s over. I know that I’m going to pursue network analysis further in grad school, but right now I need a little break. Dr. Graham sent me an overview of The Connected Past conference that was held at the University of Southampton last week, and looking over the presentations confirms in my mind that what I have been working on is quite relevant today, and has many great applications.
Since it is quite long, I’m not going to publish the full text on this blog. Instead, click here to access the pdf. Also, I’ll be publishing my dataset and related materials on OpenContext and I’ll post about this once I get everything organized, probably after exams.
And just because this project is over doesn’t mean I won’t be blogging anymore. In fact, I’m just getting started.
