DH Kitchen and Humanities Conversation: Assessing Digital Scholarship

Please join faculty colleagues on Friday, November 4, in 301 Reynolda Hall from 3:00-4:00pm, for a special DH Kitchen/Humanities Conversation session on Assessing Digital Humanities Scholarship. Following up on Todd Presner’s October 18^th guest lecture, we will discuss ways to support and facilitate digital humanities research within academic departments.

Presner’s lecture, “Assessing Digital Humanities Scholarship: Challenges, Opportunities, and Perspectives,” proposed a series of considerations for determining how digital scholarship advances the state of knowledge in a humanities field. Presner provided a flexible model for assessment by outlining tandem solutions for both scholars and committees to establish best practices for conducting, documenting, conveying, and evaluating digital humanities research.

We invite all faculty, from DH veterans to DH newbies, to participate in a discussion of potential applications of this digital humanities assessment model at Wake Forest.
