Csuf Personal Statement

I graduated from CSUF with a BA in History and American Studies in May of 2015. I knew that I immediately wanted to continue my education and get my MA in History. However, my immediate career goals had nothing to do with teaching, but instead I found myself interested in working in a public history career such as museum or documentary work. Even though I graduated from CSUF, that wasn’t the only reason I decided to continue my education there. One of the most important factors in my decision was that CSUF is one of the very few universities in the state that offered a public history concentration.

I heard last semester that a digital history class was going to be offered at CSUF and I knew immediately that I wanted to take it.

Throughout the semester I would be very interested to learn about how digital museum exhibits are designed and utilized, how audiobooks and possibly even historical documentaries are organized and created, how historical texts are digitized, and better ways to utilize online archives and other digital resources. As far as the learning objectives are concerned, I am looking forward to discussing digital history with my

Similar to other immigrants my family history is somewhat compelling. Starting with my grandfather who was exiled out of Egypt in 1959 primarily as a result of the "decolonization process and the rise of Egyptian nationalism”, my immediate family and I also left France in 2004 as a result of rising tension against Jews.

WHY THE ASU MS ERM PROGRAM: I have been searching for a master’s program that can provide me with an integrated program of courses and a platform to enhance my knowledge for both public policy and water supply law.

Ct201 Week 1 Reflection

414 Words | 2 Pages

As I reflect on the first half of the semester in CTCH 821, I can’t help but find myself seeing things around me with my newfound appreciation for the historical perspective. Data is so much more than numbers. Data not only captures the condition of a specific time, place, and population, but it serves as a historical document that can be used hundreds of years from now. Now, when I hear about any current issue in higher education, I don’t automatically assume that it’s a new issue that policymakers and researchers are scrambling to address. More likely than not, the issue is one that has roots in the history of higher education.

741 Words | 3 Pages

In 2005 I was asked to curate an exhibit of Digital Art for the University of West Florida Art Gallery. The result was the show D(igital)fraged that was an examination of the highly varied and fragmented nature of the medium at that time. A decade has passed and Digital Media is still highly eclectic utilizing concepts from traditional design as often as large blocks of complex code. The diverse skill set required provides both challenge and opportunity for a Professor of Digital Media. My professional career has allowed me to work with several aspects of Digital Media and imparted the need to seek a balance between the creativity and experimentation of the Digital Arts and the need for emphasis on process and efficiency in the work place.
