One highlight for me this summer is the opportunity to participate in a National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Summer Seminar called “Doing Digital History 2016.”
I’m joining twenty-three other historians for the next two weeks in Washington, D.C. The seminar has been organized by the Center for History and New Media at George Mason University. These are some of the leaders of the field, so it’s good to learn from the best.
This seminar is designed for mid-career scholars who are interested in gaining more digital skills for their work in history–this definitely applies to me!
If you’d like to see what we’re doing, you can check out the seminar’s website.
We’re also using the twitter hashtag #doingdh16.
I’m looking forward to developing skills that I can use both in my research and in my teaching at the University of Northwestern.
One day in, and I already have some good ideas. I’m sure more will be coming.
