Thank you to those who attended my breakout session at THATCampOK2016, “Doing Things with Words: an Update.” Here’s a link to my slide presentation for anyone interested. It might not be terribly useful out of context, but at the least it has links to the tools I discussed and my contact info.

Here is the schedule with breakout sessions for Friday, May 20.  See you on Friday!

Schedule

For those who haven’t yet seen the LA Review of Books series on digital humanities, you might want to take a look at some of those articles/interviews as food for thought going into Friday’s discussions and planning for Saturday’s sessions. There is a main interview series, but there are also related pieces. A mid-series post in their “Cultural Studies” section posited ties between DH and neoliberalism, and that spawned multiple responses, including essays by Juliana Spahr, Richard So, and Andrew Piper, Roopika Risam, and others. Matthew Kirschenbaum also wrote a great piece that refuses to let itself be linked here… but it can be found at medium.com under “@mkirschenbaum.”

Session Leaders:

Dr. David Oberhelman, OSU Libraries

Dr. Andrew Wadoski, OSU Dept. of English

Sarah Coates, OSU Libraries

Proposal:

In Fall 2015, Dr. Andrew Wadoski (OSU Dept. of English), Dr. David Oberhelman (OSU Libraries’ Research and Learning Services), and Sarah Coates (OSU Libraries’ Special Collections and University Archives) built upon a longstanding collaboration in developing a digital critical edition of the devotional verse of Elizabeth Newell (Beinecke Osborne ms. B49 ca. 1655-1668), a 17^th century poet as the final project for Dr. Wadoski’s upper-level undergraduate course on Metaphysical Poets.

The critical edition was created by the students in the class, and comprised of the students’ transcriptions of Newell’s works, providing definitions of words and contextual annotations and footnotes, and then uploading their work into a WordPress site provided by the Library. There were a few surprises along the way, and the project had to evolve to adapt to the changes that were discovered while students researched these works.

This panel will give an overview of the project; discuss the pedagogical changes that occurred over the course of this project; demonstrate how librarians, archivists, and faculty can collaborate on projects; and will provide advice on how to incorporate digital projects into the undergraduate classroom.

THATCamps are unconferences which means that the participants get to create the program. They are meant to be informal, to create connections and to inspire! For complete details on how to propose a session visit the “Propose” page on this site, thatcampok2016.thatcamp.org/propose/.

The second annual THATCampOK will be happening in Stillwater on the Oklahoma State University Campus in May. This unconference event on May 21st will be preceded by a workshop on May 20th. If you have questions about THATCampOK contact David or Nicole. We hope to see you in May!
