Editors’ Choice: Reflections on the Digital Sport History Workshop, or How I Became a Sport Historian

by Jonathan Silverman -

I came to the Doing Sport History in the Digital Present workshop last week as an American Studies scholar and may have left a sport historian.

This proclamation only becomes relevant in the context of the aims of the DSH workshop, in which 15 participants from a variety of scholarly approaches and interests came together at Georgia Tech in Atlanta for the workshop, which focused on exploring and explaining the growing practice of digital humanities in sport. My own background is as an English professor, with a degree in American Studies, and who has published a few things on horse racing, but more on popular culture.
