Digital Humanities At Cuny. Building Communities Of Practice In The Public University, Stefano Morello

Publications and Research

In this essay, I reflect on my experience working in the field of Digital Humanities at The Graduate Center (GC) of the City University of New York (CUNY) to refute the misconception that the point of intersection of humanities and computation is dependent on robust technological infrastructure and, therefore, outside of the reach of underfunded public institutions.

Curating Digital Pedagogy In The Humanities, Rebecca Frost Davis, Matthew K. Gold, Katherine D. Harris

Publications and Research

This is the published introduction to the born-digital, open-access, peer-reviewed Digital Pedagogy in the Humanities.

As a separate field now, Digital Pedagogy is built on the generosity of its practitioners, but saving the stuff of teaching and pedagogy is difficult. The introduction historicizes this now-published project, its open peer review process, and its development in the early …
