Much of the conversation on the utilization of technology in the classroom revolves around undergraduate classes, but in this Talk session, I’d like to discuss whether graduate students can or should likewise be asked to use Twitter, ebooks, blogs, Premiere, etc. in their seminars. Should graduate students create posters about Derrida, for instance, or digital stories about a Dostoevsky novel (or a historical, political, sociological text, depending on the discipline)? Practicing the use of particular tools can certainly help graduate students shape their assignments for the undergraduate classes they are set to teach, but many graduate students might (understandably) be wary of the prospect of devoting less time to writing traditional papers.

We all may remember this gem from the MLA Jobs List Tumblr last fall:

Digital Humanities

Many of us will be faced with this task in our job searches, and we should have an answer to give committees who know they want a digital humanist, but aren’t able to articulate what a digital humanist is or does.  I propose a session where we try to tackle this question:  “What is digital humanities, candidate?”  This is a “talk” session.  Anyone who has tried and succeeded/failed to answer this question on an interview is especially encouraged to join!
