Zoe will be presenting the findings of her culminating project in “Digital Humanities,” a verbal crosswalk of reality television show data from Fan-Wikis into machine-readable format. Inspired by the {survivoR} dataset, she argues why one for Big Brother, another CBS vehicle, is necessary and cannot simply copy its Survivor counterpart.
Zoe is a second-semester MS LIS student at Pratt and Library Assistant at the Jersey City Free Public Library. She graduated from Bucknell University in 2023 with a BA in Sociology and English: Literary Studies. Her presentation at InfoShow 2025 covers the beginnings of a larger project towards her portfolio: the creation of a dataset for the competitive reality TV show Big Brother. She is pursing a Digital Humanities concentration.
