Visualizing the Victorian Sportswoman

Visualizing the Victorian Sportswoman (VisVS) is being designed as a pedagogical tool for use in Victorian Studies and Gender Studies classrooms. The image displays that appear on this site are a selection of my experiments in creating visible, (inter)active forms for teaching visual literacy and close analysis. Because the project is about revealing critical process, I am making it publicly available while in development. This work is being supported by a grant from the Graduate Center Digital Initiatives and the Office of the Provost and by the Louise Lennihan Arts & Sciences Grant at the Graduate Center. Please return over the coming months to see more models of artistic, digitally-enhanced close reading for use in teaching and learning.

For more information on VisVS and it’s pedagogical aims, please visit the about page and user guide.
