I also want to thank Wabash College and especially Dr. Quandt for the chance to grow and develop my skillset through this virtual opportunity.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The work for this digital humanities project was focused in mainly two areas; the research on French environmental literature, and the development of a website which would display the literature and research.&nbsp;&nbsp;The large majority of research on environmental literature has been devoted to North American writings, which is hardly surprising considering the large environmentalist movements in North America.&nbsp;&nbsp;Because of this, environmental literature from other areas and cultures can often be overlooked.&nbsp;&nbsp;The aim our project is to bring French environmental literature into focus, in a meaningful and efficient manner.&nbsp;&nbsp;A website offers a user more tools to explore the literature and find a deeper understanding.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The web development section focused on learning HTML (Hypertext Markup Language), CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), and JavaScript.&nbsp;&nbsp;I also investigated other technologies like React, Bootstrap, and several Google plug-ins, including the Google My Maps feature which allowed for vague areas as well as specific locations related to the authors or the literature to be displayed in a user-friendly manner.&nbsp;&nbsp;Version control was handled with GitHub and the website will be hosted with Google Firebase.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michael High &#8217;23 &#8212; I\u2019d like to thank the generous donors for making possible the incredible internship I was able to experience this summer.\u00a0\u00a0I worked as a research intern for the French [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":179,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[107,109,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3005","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-2021-summer-internships","category-academic-research","category-uncategorized"],"w_featured_image_url":"https:\/\/blog.wabash.edu\/summerinternships\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/08\/2021-summer-internship-1024x575.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.wabash.edu\/summerinternships\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3005","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.wabash.edu\/summerinternships\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.wabash.edu\/summerinternships\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.wabash.edu\/summerinternships\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/179"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.wabash.edu\/summerinternships\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3005"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/blog.wabash.edu\/summerinternships\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3005\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3155,"href":"https:\/\/blog.wabash.edu\/summerinternships\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3005\/revisions\/3155"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.wabash.edu\/summerinternships\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3005"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.wabash.edu\/summerinternships\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3005"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.wabash.edu\/summerinternships\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3005"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
