For my bizzaro research paper, I studied the connection between metadata and our current state of surveillance. Tracing the history of metadata and interweaving key events in the disclosures of Edward Snowden, I created a Timeline JS project.

Now that the project is over, I’m interested in talking about my process and hearing from other people in class. How did the process of finding evidence and integrating it into your bizzaro research paper assignment projects compare with doing “regular” research papers? Are there advantages and disadvantages, and if so, what are they? I’m looking forward to discussion in class tomorrow.
