Katherine D. Harris and I started working on what would become chapter 6, “Why (in the World) Teach Digital Humanities at a Teaching-Intensive Institution?” before the pandemic, and I met with Brian Croxall at the MLA Conference in Seattle in January 2020 to discuss our first version. That was my last travel before everything shutdown. So, I was delighted–at last–to receive this book as an early Christmas present from University of Minnesota Press. It was a pleasure, as always, to collaborate with Katherine on this publication. Thanks, Kathy! I’m looking forward to reading the rest of it, and a big thank you to Croxall and Jakacki for seeing it through!
What We Teach When We Teach DH
Digital Humanities in the Classroom, edited by Brian Croxall and Diane K. Jakacki, University of Minnesota Press, 2023. As the press overview describes it: “Exploring how digital humanities (DH) is taught and what that reveals about the field, this book highlights how DH can transform learning across a vast array of curricular structures, institutions, and education levels, from high schools and small liberal arts colleges to research-intensive institutions and postgraduate professional development programs.”
