Summer Award Dispatches: Nick Gutierrez

This year, the BCNM awarded five new media graduate students with summer fellowships to help support their dissertation research and writing. Here's what Nick Gutierrez gained from the experience!

Nicholaus Gutierrez attended the Digital Humanities Summer Institute at the University of Victoria, where he took a class on web development using Ruby on Rails. The class designed projects for harvesting Instagram images based on hashtags, which highlighted the possibility of gathering large amounts of data for potential research.
