About Shawn Day
I am a Digital Humanities Specialist at the Digital Humanities Observatory (DHO) in Dublin, Ireland.
Academically, my research interests revolve about nineteenth century Canadian economic, business and social history. Most specifically the role of drink and those who served them in late 19thC Ontario. More broadly I explore the adaptation of technology and information visualisation to the pedagogical process.
Professionally, I enjoyed the dotcom boom as jack-of-all trades in co-founded development ventures. Prior to that I was a self-employed journeyman involved in all aspects of information architecture.
I have some history in technology and my main joy in life is catalyzing the reaction between technology and the study of history.
