The Digital Humanities Working Group will meet to discuss a shared reading. This quarter we will consider the field of Digital Humanities broadly and the challenges to the idea of a Digital Humanities field. To spark this discussion, we will read 3 selections from Matthew Gold, ed. Debatesin Digital Humanities (First published in print by University of Minnesota, 2012 and now available and expanded online at http://dhdebates.gc.cuny.edu/debates).
