I’d like to propose a session that approaches DH on a macro-level. As a changing field where boundaries are being reinvented as we tackle new projects, we already know that DH can’t necessarily be defined. But shouldn’t we try to explain not what DH is, but how we use it? What makes a DH project? What distinguishes DH from other projects? What makes up the ethos of the field?
About Emily Esten
As my bio reads: History (and hopefully Digital Humanities!) major at UMass Amherst. Incurable reader. Proud travel lover. Devoted assistant. Passionate web scholar. Prone to fits of apathy.
But seriously: I grew up in southeastern New England, and my fascination with history was discovered early on. My newfound love for Digital Humanities, however, is not as developed. I'm working on establishing myself within academia through social media, and explore the vastness that is digital humanities.
