Al...Thanks, Jeffrey, for helping get the word out! Alex et alia have put together an exciting symposium that brings together an intriguing array of perspectives and knowledges. Because I’m particularly interested in the ways DH works to blur the disciplinary divides that too frequently structure our scholarship and teaching, I’m excited about the prospect of some mind-blowing conversations at GWDHS.Candace Barringtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01524749191300644796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21165575.post-69556905537699020822013-01-20T17:05:08.878-05:002013-01-20T17:05:08.878-05:00Thanks, Jeffrey and Jonathan!

The presidential inauguration is just the prelude, a warm-up event for GW DigiHum. <br /><br />Alexa Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01792307234079936989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21165575.post-4428271713043969772013-01-19T14:45:07.940-05:002013-01-19T14:45:07.940-05:00Another point: I should say that when we organized...Another point: I should say that when we organized the conference program we deliberately avoided breaking down our sessions by conventional notions of subject matter and/or approach: e.g, disability studies is a thread that works its way *across* a number of sessions; and medievalists are *not* thrown together in a single session, etc. I'm so excited we managed to get Elaine Treharne to deliver a keynote on theorizing digital text. And it will come as no surprise to anyone who knows my work that I'm looking forward to some of the Friday afternoon sessions ("Expanding Linguistic and Virtual Communities" and your session on "Transformative Media, Transforming Community"). I'll be very curious to find out what conversations emerge from this diverse group of presenters and participants!Jonathan Hsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214201468052661183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21165575.post-61518570523013981112013-01-19T13:37:39.164-05:002013-01-19T13:37:39.164-05:00YES! Jeffrey, I couldn't agree more: Alex Huan...YES! Jeffrey, I couldn't agree more: Alex Huang is amazing and a real guiding force behind this DH Symposium - and our English colleague Daniel DeWispelare and grad student Emily Russell have done so much work in co-organizing.<br /><br />One exciting element of this DH conference is to bridge research, community, and teaching - and in addition to Alex's wonderful grad course there are a number of DH projects on display here that have implications for pedagogy. In addition to co-presenting with Candace Barrington re: "Global Chaucers," I will also be co-presenting the "Digital Pedagogy" session re: the Glossary of Medieval Disability; this is an evolving wikispace that I integrated into my graduate course last term (more about that in our presentation).<br /><br />This is going to be awesome. (By the way, I am planning a "post-MLA and pre-DHS" posting on ITM next week... so stay tuned!)Jonathan Hsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214201468052661183noreply@blogger.com
