Blogging will be an important part of this course, because it’s a place where we will sustain conversation between our face-to-face meetings, and keep the momentum up in what will be a very short but intense course. Everyone will write on this blog; everyone will comment on it. It will be an essential part of what we do–in large part, because it is what digital humanities scholars do: develop and nourish virtual communities of scholars through vibrant dialogue and tool-sharing.
