Thanks!

I tried a couple things, but was not able to fix this myself, so I removed the event file for now. I did publish a blog post that has the event's info (which we will want to keep up even when we get the event item published), and will link to that in my fall events tweets, so we just need to get the event file up by the end of 2024.

Issue is that everything works fine on local, but on live site the event appears fine on /events but the title+"details" links both go to a 404.

Tried:

  • I tried changing the title to something without extra punctuation.
  • I tried switching the start and end dates to 2024 ones in case there was something caused by this being the only 2025 event that I wasn't seeing. That's the only difference I can see between this event, which has these issues on the live site, and the other upcoming events, which don't have any issues.

Scholars' Lab Virtual Artist in Residence Claudia Berger will virtually present their data quilt project, "Footpath for the People?". The event will likely be a hybrid one, with in-person viewing available; in-person attendees will also be able to view the actualy quilt, installed in the Scholars' lab!

Berger describes their planned project: "This quilt will explore the Appalachian Trail and who this "public" resource was actually designed for. It will look at the history of the trail and through-hikers like Emma Gatewood, who popularized the trail, as well as how it was created and how it is used today. In particular the project will explore how the trail intersects with histories of race, gender, and Indigenous rights of both the trail as a whole and in the specific states is passes through. The quilt will be paired with a zine that will connect viewers to more information and resources about the trail."

To read about related past work, please see Berger's and collaborator Gabriella Evergreen's recent data embodiment project ["Pockets of Information"](https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/9f1d23f02fa8483f884c1b6d20bf0762).

Claudia Berger is the Digital Humanities Librarian at Sarah Lawrence College and a Visiting Assistant Professor at Pratt Institute's School of Information. Their research centers on digital environmental humanities and how we can use digital methods to tell stories about the environment, as well as data physicalization. 

More details and registration information to come later in December or January, for this Spring 2025 event.

Github Pages seems to require all files/slugs to use lower case. I changed the filename and the slug for the event in a937840 and the page + link appear to work as expected.
