Reboot U

It all begins with a twitter account @reboot-u and a website www.reboot-u.org (coming soon!), as well as a fabulous partner (Joanna Brooks of SDSU) and a lot of ambition
to retool students & faculty for the digital 21 c. in a grassroots, problem-solving, humanistic approach to critical digital literacy.

Yep! That’s what I’m up to this year… more soon.

“The Literary”: a special issue of DHQ (Digital Humanities Quarterly), that I co-edited with the wonderful Lisa Swastrom, is now available. http://digitalhumanities.org/dhq/preview/index.html
This special issue features thirteen outstanding essays that consider different points of intersection, friction, tension, and opportunity between digital culture and literary technique. We are very proud of this work!

for what promises to be a fascinating conference: Beyond the Text: Literary Archives in the 21st Century (Yale University Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library, April 26-27, 2013). I’ll be speaking about “Teaching Digital Poetics &/as Archiving” on the “Teaching with Literary Archives” panel, along with some esteemed company: Jacqueline Goldsby (Professor of English & African American Studies, Department of English and African American Studies, Yale University) and Alice Kaplan, (John M. Musser Professor of French, French Department, Yale University). I’m humbled by the company and excited to learn from all gathered.
