Visualizing the New Rigor
This is a cross-post from my personal blog. Back in May, Five College Digital Humanities organized a conference called The New Rigor, in which we tackled the question of what kinds of support and evaluation structures would best facilitate making interesting, innovative digital work.

There’s no want for sites all over the Internet that offer similar information, many of which are able to go far more in depth than we have space for here in the Sandbox. Rather than offering…
