Digital Humanities in and Beyond the Classroom

Fresh from digital humanities bootcamps this summer, three training grant recipients share their new-found DH knowledge. Penn graduate students Andrea Gazzoni and Joan Lubin explore what they've learned about professionalization in the digital humanities, digital pedagogy, networked learning, and post-colonial digital humanities, and how they plan to use those tools in and outside the classroom.

Andrea Gazzoni | "Digital Pedagogy/Critical Pedagogy"

Andrea Gazzoni will talk about how the digital in our teaching practice offers new opportunities for the development of a critical pedagogy relying on co-operation, self-reflection and de-centralization inside and outside the classroom. He will argue that while many tools are available for such a purpose nowadays, we can make them meaningful only by critically shaping our course settings and activities.

Joan Lubin | "Digital Humanities and Cultural Critique"

Joan Lubin will report back about the De/Post/Colonial DH seminar in which she participated at HILT, and share the website and "Invitation towards Social Justice in the Digital Humanities" discussion board that emerged from it.
