I am so excited to hear that we have been awarded an NEH Office of Digital Humanities Start-Up grant for 2013-14. So looking forward to the project. The National Survey of Digital Humanities at the Community College is now open.  If you teach in community college, please complete the survey! We are especially interested in hearing from part-time humanities faculty.

In the fall we will gather in Louisville at the Community College Humanities Association national conference for a special pre-conference strategic planning workshop. I am deeply grateful to these experts who have agreed to join our conversation about what digital humanities looks like and could look like at the community college:

Jake Agatucci, professor of English at Central Oregon Community College, editor of The Community College Humanist newsletter and creator of “Digital Games Culture”

Rebecca Frost Davis,  Director of Instructional and Emerging Technology at St. Edward’s University in Austin, TX

Matthew K. Gold Associate Professor of English and Digital Humanities, City Tech and Graduate Center, CUNY

Dean Rheberger Director of MATRIX at Michigan State

Jesse Stommel, Assistant Professor, Univ. of Wisconsin/Madison, Department of Liberal Studies and the Arts, co-founder of Hybrid Pedagogy

Terri Whitney, Professor of English at North Shore Community College and director of Hawthorne in Salem

I hope to come away from the CCHA with a new plan for how to support DH work in community colleges nationally.

See you in Louisville!
