“Leaving Home” incorporates new tools and analytical potential from digital humanities, including digital cartography, data visualization, and digital storytelling. The current stage includes a set of data visualizations of itineraries and an online presentation of translated travelogues. These projects do not involve the quantitative methodology typical of DH, but my goal with this set of projects is to devise a carefully curated and managed project that does not require a large team or substantial funding. I use DH tools and data visualization from these projects for teaching undergraduate and graduate courses.
