Back from #MLA12
I recently returned from the 2012 Modern Language Association Convention in Seattle, where I participated in a media training workshop and gave two talks: “One Course, One Project” (for the “Future of Teaching” panel) and “Five Reasons Digital Humanities Needs Theory” (for the “Debates in the Digital Humanities” panel).
I am in the process of translating the “Five Reasons” talk into an essay, which I hope to publish in the near future. In the meantime, here is a PDF version of my “One Course, One Project” slides. Throughout the talk, I referred to a media studies course I taught at the University of Washington Bothell in early 2011.
Thank you to Rosemary Feal for inviting me to the media training workshop, to Priscilla Wald and Matt Gold for moderating the panels, and to Margaret Rhee, Patrick Jagoda, Liz Losh, Jeff Rice, and Matt Gold for presenting with me. And thanks to Mark Sample, you can get a sense of some conversations I had at #MLA12.
Finally, thank you to Joan Lippincott at the Coalition for Networked Information (CNI) for discussing my ”One Course, One Project” talk during the January 18th CNI podcast.
