Editors’ Choice: Whither Are We Bound, Romanticism in the Digital Age
I invoke Victor’s first words to start my talk because he offers us some insight into the Romantic Digital Humanities today. Victor is myopically focused on chasing something that he’s made, his creature, and it is no longer his experiment but a living, thriving body with a life of its own. I suggest that most […]

Many of my students, friends, and colleagues get a sour look on their face when it comes to discussion online, whether it be synchronous or asynchronous. They express, sometimes implicitly and others explicitly, a common sentiment that online discussion is not […]

Editors’ Choice: Exploring Virtual Reality in Education
When looking at the state of digital media and learning today, virtual reality (VR) is barely a blip in many of the broader conversations. Much of the work being done focuses on peer-to-peer learning and practices of social pedagogy, which are in many ways, the opposite of the current state of VR. About 20 years ago, […]
