The topic of my presentation is “Digital Humanities Authorship as the Object of New Media Studies.” (See also Stanley Fish’s recent NYT Opinionator piece that mentions our session.)

I’ll also be helping with the pre-conference session on Evaluating Digital Work for Tenure and Promotion: A Workshop for Evaluators and Candidates on January 5, and I’ll be a respondent for a panel called Transmedia Stories and Literary Games.

What happens when we blur the line between what is virtual and what is real, and what are the dangers or opportunities in doing so?

My answer: Full Piece

They also made a really cool brochure from pictures taken in the glass house at the NC State Fairgrounds in Raleigh. It was tremendous fun to ride around the fair in a golf cart with the owner of the midway, learning about its history!
