“How to ‘Do DH’ with Others: Digital Methods in Philology and Book History”

Kevin Baker and Andrew Keener are graduate student co-conveners of the Northwestern Digital Humanities seminar.

In this talk for the Digital Humanities Speaker Series, Andrew Keener will talk about collaborative digital methods in graduate humanities research through discussing the “Spenser Engagements” project and his work on a Humanities Without Walls grant that is registering Northwestern’s Special Collections holdings with a digitally accessible bibliographical catalog (the ESTC) for the use of scholars around the world. Kevin Baker will discuss his experiences as a co-convener of the Northwestern DH seminar and offer a critical view of the institution-building involved in Digital Humanities, using insights from the field of Science and Technology Studies.
