This website is a digital project for my graduate certificate course, Digital Public Humanities, at George Mason University for the HIST 689: Teaching and Learning History in the Digital Age. For more specific information about this website, please to the Introduction section.
This project was inspired by a previous work of mine: Monday Methods | Indigenous Sources: Reconciling apparent contradictions. As a moderator of the largest online public history forum, I’ve had the pleasure to write several featured posts covering research theories and methods, particularly from an Indigenous perspective. Indigenous methodologies is one of the areas I focus on and felt it would make for a great project here.
