Hello, I’m Miyuki, a sophomore and a History major, from Tokyo, Japan.
This is my third time to take HIST200 Historians for Hire, and I’ve been working on curating historical objects and creating an online exhibition for the first two terms. For this time, I’m going to dive into this project of the ongoing pandemic, COVID-19, and I’m proud to be part of this project.
Currently, I’m away from home and stay on campus in Northfield, Minnesota. Making use of my current situation, I want to set my theme of this project “Me being Distant from Home.” I’m going to share the stories that I experienced not only in Northfield but also (mostly) online in the course of communications between me and my family or friends back in Japan.
As one of the means to share my stories, I’m going to use the photographing skills that I gained from an art course at Carleton and knowledge of Digital Humanities that I leaned through the working experience at Digital Humanities Associates(DHA). I hope the stories I’ll share will connect people even if they are on the opposite side of the world.
