Digital Humanities? Controversial?- Reading Group
Posted in: Announcements, Events
Digital Humanities Reading Group
Date and Time: Wednesday, November 29, 2017 from 3 PM to 4 PM
Location: Schmitt Hall 135
Join the CHSS Center for the Digital Humanities for a lively conversation on a recent article that is getting a lot of publicity. “The Digital-Humanities Bust” by Timothy Brennan is provocative, and we’re going to talk about it!
This event is open to ALL FACULTY AND STUDENTS.
Check out the short article and join us for an informal and thought provoking conversation!
In addition to the article by Timothy Brennan, we’ve added a rebuttal article titled, “There Is No Such Thing as ‘the Digital Humanities’” by Dr. Eric Weiskott, Assistant Professor of English at Boston College. It is optional reading material but a good way to hear both sides of the argument.
Other optional reading materials include “Digital Is Not the Opposite of Humanities” by Sarah E. Bond, Hoyt Long, and Ted Underwood from The Chronicle of Higher Education and “Why is Digital Humanities?” by Sarah Catherine Stanley.
Sign in and join us today on HawkSync for more information on the event and sessions.
