Trends and Futures in Teaching Digital Humanities

In an increasingly digital world, many museums and universities have shifted toward more digital and open access publications, archives, and exhibitions. Virtual platforms are now commonplace, allowing for rich learning environments, but also call for new pedagogical methods and resources. What are best practices for incorporating digital humanities in the classroom? How can we incorporate more flexible forms of teaching – like moving away from traditional textbooks and towards accessible resources – and how do we continue to find novel ways to engage with new material and perspectives?

This session examines the possibilities for rethinking communication and teaching in digital humanities, moving towards more expansive and varied sources as well as innovative implementations of content and lesson delivery. We welcome 15-minute paper presentations from educators, curators, artists, and scholars in fields adjacent to the arts (including history, linguistics, philosophy, music, and ethnic studies) that demonstrate recent approaches or case studies. Possible topics for discussion include: open educational resources in the humanities; digital archives; user-contributed archives; mapping and digital terrains; online exhibitions; web-based curation and storytelling; AI in humanities writing; remote learning and accessibility for students with disabilities; teaching video games in art/history; language acquisition and preservation.

Please upload your proposal title, a 250 word abstract, and a PDF that includes your CV and a short bio.
