Abstract

Three main goals to the presentation.

• First, just to show some of the work my students have been doing in a new English elective at IMSA, Digital Literary Studies. In the second half of the presentation especially, I’ll be explaining the class and showing this work.
• Second, to give some sense of the field of the Digital Humanities, which has been a significant force in humanities at the college level for some time now, especially in the last ten years.
• Finally, to propose a rethinking of the way we think about the role of the humanities in STEM education. And that’s where I’ll begin.
