Dear all,

We’re excited to invite you to participate in a new digital humanities reading group sponsored by the Center for the Humanities for the 2016-17 academic year. Please feel free to forward to anyone you think might be interested.

We will be basing our bi-weekly discussions on selections from the 2016 Blackwell A New Companion to Digital Humanities and are especially interested in focusing on:

• emerging digital approaches in humanistic research and education, such as text analysis, virtual reality, machine learning, big data, etc

• politics of digital technology — such as pertaining to gender, race, and class; data rights; user freedom; surveillance; licensing — especially as it plays out within and through the university

• the changing landscape of scholarly communication, research, libraries, and education via digital technologies

• special interests such as digital commons; mapping technologies; augmented reality; the use of digital tools for understanding styles of reasoning; critical status of technological objects, etc

If you’d like to join us, please fill out this Doodle Poll by Friday, September 30th. We hope to have our first meeting next week. Readings will be sent out via email.

Best,

Erin Glass, Digital Humanities Coordinator, The Library/IAH

Razvan Amironesei, Postdoc in Political Science

Jeanelle Horcasitas, Grad Life Intern/Ph.D. Student in Literature

Dear all,

It looks like 10:30 to noon this Friday, October 7th is the most popular choice. We will be meeting then in Room 310 in the Literature building.

To those who participated in the poll, please check your inbox for a chapter from Blackwell’s New Companion to Digital Humanities, which gives an overview of various DH methods currently in use across disciplines. We will be discussing this chapter as well as charting a course of future readings from the same text. Check out the table of contents pasted below to see if any topics spark your interest.

For those of you who can’t make it, feel free to drop by any future meetings!

I look forward to seeing you all.

Best,

Erin
