Blog Post – Due Friday, July 28
Think back to your first week and the definition of digital scholarship/digital humanities you wrote. How has your definition changed? Does your final project reflect your initial definition, or has it changed? What advice would you give the next cohort of Digital Scholarship Summer Fellows, given your experience?
Note for Week 10
Room 018 will be open throughout the week so you can practice your final presentations.
- Monday: 9am-4:30pm
- Tuesday: 10am-2:30pm

Monday, July 24
8:30am-9am: Check-In (Library 014)
9am-Noon: Issues in Digital Scholarship (Library 014, Public Session)
As broadly as digital scholarship can be defined, there are many issues that should be addressed by those who call themselves digital scholars. How do digital scholars include marginalized groups in the conversation? Are there ways to address the wide berth of technological proficiency in digital scholarship? There are many questions, and hopefully we can think of ways to further the conversation.
