Continue readingwhere is DH scholarship on the web?
<a href="http://digitalhumanitiesnow.org" target="_blank">Digital Humanities Now</a> and the <a href="http://journalofdigitalhumanities.org" target="_blank">Journal of Digital Humanities</a> are experimental publications that aim to surface digital humanities scholarship from the open web and highlight work that moves the field forward. But where is this work and how can we discover it? We have a particular editorial and technical method, but […]
Continue readingCollaboration Across Institutional Boundaries
I’d like to propose a discussion session on the whole issue of collaboration across institutions. William Pannapacker recently wrote in the Chronicle about the potential value of creating partnerships between research institutions and teaching colleges.

This is understandable, given the interests and backgrounds of most people involved in the community, but I’d like to have a discussion of other areas in which community members […]
Continue readingTalking about challenges and competitions for local and broad innovation
I’d meant to blog about this following the talk at WebWise about competitions, but sadly never did it. So I’ll try to redeem myself here. Challenges/Competitions, much like THATCamp Prime’s own Maker Challenge, are a great way to facilitate open and wacky innovation. Anyone want to talk about experiences or ideas with them? What works […]
Continue readingShock & Awe, Business Cards, and the DH Elevator Pitch
We all have to summarize research, promote ourselves, and win over indifferent audiences, but how do we do all of those things simultaneously when our listeners don’t understand our aims or vocabulary? Elevator pitches are about presenting a product or idea, using a distilled message to make a sale or win over a key player, […]
