I’ve posted my brief remarks from #UVA30DH: "Collaboration is THE Thing"—as the title signals, it argues that the greatest contribution of #digitalhumanities has not been technical, but in the ways it’s fostered critical conversations about collaboration...

One way I feel a little offsides at #UVA30DH is I’m no longer particualry interested in evangelizing DH or asking why more of our colleuages aren’t “doing” it.

People should do their work. For many or most, that will (nowadays) involve digital tools, digital platforms, and digital data, in some way shape or form. And some of *that* may or may not traverse some threshold of self-evident DHiness. But ultimately it’s about the work, and DH is a means to an end. Do the work, the DH will come.

@ryancordell Kindly posted a version of his brief remarks delivered at #UVA30DH

Highlights looking back and going forward:

emphatic emphasis on questions of fair collaboration, shared credit, and equitable treatment among teams that included academics in different roles and at different ranks

DH students learn, they are more likely to learn how to translate their intellectual work and see its value in contexts beyond their own minds.

@ryancordell @mkirschenbaum Easier said than done, I know, but I’d love to see friends at #UVA30DH move the discussion off of Twitter and over to here!
