Thanks so much for catching that! My apologies for the terrible cut and paste job! Will edit those now.
And thanks for sharing your great work with us!
Thanks for posting all of this! I wish I had known that the DH seminar had a blog and webpage set up at the beginning of the semester since there’s a lot of good content there that’s a bit much to read and process at one sitting (she says two hours after clicking the link). I’ve now added the main RSS feed to my reader so I can keep up with future posts. I hope that David will keep this site online after the semester ends. David Michelson’s DH grad course website from a couple years ago is still online (http://introtodigitalhumanitiesspring2011.digress.it/) Perhaps you could create a tab called “Courses” on the main ADHC page, along with Projects, People, etc, so that we’d have easy access to these course websites. They are a treasure trove of links to scholarly articles, and presumably someone will offer a third DH grad course in the next year or two, so it would be nice to start to group them all together in some way. Just a suggestion.
Thanks for the suggestion, Jen! I will talk to Davids about their interest in doing this and will build the sites into our existing Resources page if they approve.
