Digital Publishing and the Digital Humanities (original) (raw)

Publishing is broader and more digital than ever before. From e-books to Wikipedia, open access journals to Twitter, and podcasts to audiobooks, publishing is in the hands of the many at the same time as it continues to constitute a multi- billion-dollar oligarchy consolidated in the hands of a few, fostering continued inequalities of making and accessing knowledge. In this course we will explore digital publishing in its many mediums and intermedial travels, with special attention to questions of gender, race and racism, access, sexuality, and settler colonialism. As a praxis-based course that merges practice and theory, students will have opportunities to experiment with modes of digital publishing both independently and in collaboration with each other. The course will be grounded in Digital Humanities perspectives; authors we will read include: Moya Bailey, Elizabeth Ellcessor, Kimberly Christen, Simone Murray, and Siobhan Senier.
