The faculty research group of DH@SDSU is a reading group that serves as the central hub for building a research community around topic and questions related to Digital Humanities. Faculty from across disciplines meet once-a-month (and over lunch!) to discuss readings in the field of digital humanities. In the process, we are creating a cohort of research faculty interested in exploring how traditional humanities matter in and for our digital world.
Our next Digital Humanities Faculty Research group meeting is Tuesday, December 4, 12:30-1:30 in the DH Center. Lunch will be served, please RSVP to digitalhumanities@sdsu.edu.
We will read and discuss selected essays from the latest issue of American Quarterly (September 2018), a special issue, "Toward a Critically Engaged Digital Practice: American Studies and the Digital Humanities" edited by Lauren Tilton, Amy Earhart, Matt Delmont, Susan Garfinkel, Jesse P. Karlsberg, and Angel David Nieves.
Our new DH colleague Angel David Nieves will lead the conversation about the following essays:
1. Larson, "Witness in the Era of Mass Incarceration" (2018
2. Parham, "Ninety-Nine Problems" (2018)
3. Boyles, et al., Precarious Labor and the DH" (2018)
All three essays are available at the AQ website.
We look forward to seeing you there!
