Have you seen this? (teaching and research news, cfps, etc)

Periodically I’ll post relevant news and cfps to our course site. This great write-up of teaching Amy Earhart and Maura Ives are engaged in at Texas A & M should be of interest:  http://blog.historians.org/2018/01/race-print-and-digital-humanities-pedagogical-approaches/ 

Here’s a highlight: “Our class was structured to allow for both theoretical discussions regarding scholarly texts as well as hands on activities to engage students with concepts that arise when “doing” digital humanities. Topics included “Race and Publishing Blackness”; “How to Make, Evaluate, and Use a Bibliography”; “Bibliography as Recovery”; “Textual Problems: Non Traditional Texts”; “Forms: Words, Music, and Images”; “Multiple Editions/Versions”; and “Annotations and Paratexts.” Each topic included a case study that allowed students to test their theoretical knowledge. For example, when we discussed multiple editions and versioning, students used the Juxta tool to compare versions of Martin Delany’s Blake. When we examined “Forms: Words and Music,” students read James Weldon Johnson’s God’s Trombone and examined multiple musical scores of his included works.”
