Abstract and Keywords
This chapter traces the emergence of an interdisciplinary field, the digital humanities, in response to a complex set of recent personal, ethical, psychological, social, cultural, spiritual, and political concerns, many generated by technology, that require the insights of humanistic inquiry. Drawing from examples of digital humanities praxis including FemTechNet, HASTAC, and the Futures Initiative, this chapter focuses on the pedagogical implications of the digital humanities as an interdisciplinary field. A specific case study, “Mapping the Futures of Higher Education,” is used to explore some of the implications of interdisciplinary, networked pedagogy. The chapter concludes with an analysis of the administrative collaborations and conditions necessary to facilitate this interdisciplinary work.
Keywords: digital humanities, interdisciplinarity, pedagogy, connected learning, Futures Initiative, technology
Cathy N. Davidson focuses on technology and social and institutional change. She is a distinguished professor and founding director of the Futures Initiative at the Graduate Center (CUNY). She has published some 20 books, including Now You See It: How the Brain Science of Attention Will Transform the Way We Live, Work, and Learn. Her book on the future of higher education will be published in 2017.
Danica Savonick is a doctoral candidate in English and a Futures Initiative Fellow at the CUNY Graduate Center, focusing on pedagogy, aesthetic education, and social justice. Her dissertation analyzes the pedagogies of activists, authors, and educators who were influenced by Open Admissions and affirmative action. Her work has appeared in Callaloo, Modern Fiction Studies, Keywords for Digital Pedagogy in the Humanities, and the Journal of Interactive Technology and Pedagogy.
