Editors’ Choice: Getting Started in the Digital Humanities
Last week I presented at the Great Lakes College Association’s New Directions workshop on digital humanities (DH), where I tried to answer the question “Why the digital humanities?” But I discovered that an equally important question is “How do you do the digital humanities”? Although participants seemed to be excited about the potential of digital humanities, some weren’t sure how to get started and where to go for support and training.
Building on the slides I presented at the workshop, I’d like to offer some ideas for how a newcomer might get acquainted with the community and dive into DH work.
Job: Director/Professor – Imagining America, Syracuse University
In concert with the senior leadership at SU, the Director will also be involved in guiding projects that reflect SU’s emphasis on Scholarship in Action, including ongoing initiatives on the digital humanities and the public role of art, technology, and design (http://syr.edu/about/vision.html). The Director must be an active participant in national debates and organizational work on the public significance of humanities, arts, and design, and have a vigorous scholarly and writing agenda that explores and exemplifies the public dimensions of scholarly and creative work.
Editors’ Choice: Innovations in Digital Research: Challenges and Opportunities
(The following talk was given for the 6th Annual Nebraska Digital Workshop.)
I’m going to talk this afternoon about a central paradox of doing digital humanities–what Jerome Mcgann, one of the leading scholars of electronic texts, calls the problem of imagining what you don’t know.
In Digital Humanities, what we think we will build and what we build are often quite different, and unexpectedly so. It’s this radical disjuncture that offers us both opportunities and challenges…. What we really are asking today is how does scholarly practice change with digital humanities? Or how do we do humanities in the digital age?
Editors’ Choice: *Digital* Evaluation Of The *Humanities*
[It] wasn’t until the advent of Big Data in the 2000s and the rebranding of Humanities Computing as the “Digital Humanities” that it became the subject of moral panic in the broader humanities.
The literature of this moral panic is an interesting cultural phenomenon that deserves closer study…. We can use the methods of the Digital Humanities to characterise and evaluate this literature. Doing so will create a test of the Digital Humanities that has bearing on the very claims against them by critics from the broader humanities that this literature contains. I propose a very specific approach to this evaluation.
