AAB Prezi

Presenting Versions

My name’s Jana Millar Usiskin, and I’m an MA student working in the Maker Lab at UVic. In the next few months I will have several opportunities to present my work on Vancouver Island poet, Audrey Alexandra Brown. The work stems from a scholarly exhibit I am undertaking with the support of the Maker Lab, Editing Modernism in Canada (EMiC), and the Modernist Versions Project (MVP), and features materials from UVic Special Collections.

Today I am using Prezi to put together a presentation that I can tweak for various audiences, time specs, and venues. The biggest challenges for me include: incorporating humour, synthesizing the exhibit work with ‘more traditional’ research, and predicting which DH terms and concepts will be familiar to non-DH audiences.
