The following website is comprised of two kinds of written content: the academic drafts that comprised my formal written major research project, and my dev-logs, collected here as written musings. The former was written at the end of this project, when the dust had settled and I had found my conclusions, but the latter was written during, when I was still grappling with what this project is and would look like.

Both are valuable for their insight into myself as an academic, my process during this project, and the way they can help to contextualize my analysis. In the humanities just as in science and in math, it is important to show your work. It is possible to jump around throughout, but the first few sections, "The Beginning", "Any Port in a Storm", and "Is it the What or the Why" are crucial to read first. They provide a personal look at what I was attempting to do whilst defining this project, and I think work just as well as the later more formally written introduction to introduce myself and the project.

Finally, the "Constellate datasets" is comprised of various links to allow you to see the datasets for the themselves, and to interact with them in the same or other ways as I did.
