Issue 29: Rethinking Making in the Digital Humanities
The Journal of Interactive Technology and Pedagogy
(JITP) invites critical discourses on making with digital and computing technology that consider the following questions:
• How do making epistemologies shape our use of an approach to digital tools and techniques?
• How have we come to understand the form, constitution, genealogies, and politics of digital tools and techniques through making practices?
• What new vocabularies of partnership, praxes, of anti-oppression, and approaches to making labor visible emerge through making practices?

Next up on our Issue 27 “roll call”: Portia Agyapong and colleagues describe students’ engagement with a multimodal digital exhibit on the life and legacy of Dr. Douglas L Conner, one of the first Black doctors in Starkville, Mississippi. #digitalhumanities #digitalpedagogy #archives

Issue 27
This article connects practices of community-engaged learning and minimal computing to the digital humanities
through an ongoing digital project undertaken by Mississippi State University students. The project presents a multimodal digital exhibit on the life and legacy of Dr. Douglas L Conner (1920-1998), one of the
first Black doctors in Starkville, Mississippi and a local civil rights leader—highlighting how community-engaged learning fosters an emotional connection to literature and
textual studies.
Keywords: community-engaged learning, digital

On Chaos and Making Do Through Minimalist Digital Humanities Pedagogy | On Chaos and... by Jennifer Musial, Al Valentín, and Caroline Wilkinson
Manifold @CUNY
In 2012, Matthew K. Gold asked, "what can digital humanities mean for cash-poor colleges with underserved student populations that have neither the staffing nor the expertise to complete DH projects on their own?" This essay is a response, as the authors outline their experience with a digital humanities Mellon grant promising expansive capacity-building that they struggled to fully achieve because, as they express, grants are stopgap measures that do not solve the structural problem of state disinvestment in higher education.
Keywords: Austerity; Community Engagement;
Digital Divide; Digital Humanities; Grants

Minimalist Archival Pedagogy: New Engagement with Theatre Histories in the Undergraduate... by Cen Liu
Manifold @CUNY
This article explores what the author calls "minimalist archival pedagogy" as an approach to teaching theatre history. The piece examines two assignments which were designed and implemented in "Theatre History II, 1700-1900" at the City College of New York that position students as critical historians rather than passive consumers of canonical narratives. The first assignment engages students in archival research using digitized collections to create catalog entries, while the second asks them to construct imaginative theatre reviews that address gaps and absences in the historical record.
Keywords: Minimalist digital humanities pedagogy,
Archival pedagogy, Inquiry-based learning,
Critical historiography

Next up from Issue 27: Kera Lovell covers how ChatGPT can be used for historical inquiry and bolstering digital archival skills in a History course. She argues that AI can be framed as a scaffolding tool for critical engagement, rather than an automation of the thinking process. #digitalpedagogy

Teaching History with ChatGPT: A minimalist Approach to Critical Digital Pedagogy
by Kera Lovell
This article discusses collected data taken from history undergrads which serves to emphasize success in deploying generative AI tools like ChatGPT to foster historical inquiry. Rejecting AI as either savior or threat,
assignments framed generative tools as scaffolding for critical engagement, not automation. Instructor-designed
“AI Tasks” synthesized AI literacy and digital archival skills, with basic principles of historical research and analysis, including building annotated bibliographies, visualizing oral histories, and analyzing primary sources.
Keywords: artificial intelligence, AI, digital history,

From the brand new Issue 25 of JITP: In their Introduction, Matthew N. Hannah and @gabrielh.bsky.social examine the political economy of DH in an effort to assess how the field has responded or could respond to the multiple crises of our moment Read here: cuny.manifoldapp.org/read/digital...

An image with text from Matthew N. Hannah and Gabriel Hankins' "Introduction" to JITP Issue 25. The texts states: "Where and how does DH fit into all these historical crises of political, economic, social, and ecological processes? How can political economy help us remap the contours of a field uniquely poised to leverage an immanent critique of the neoliberal technological determinism of our moment? Despite substantial investment from digital humanists in advancing the field to include more critical engagement on questions of identity, race, gender, sexual identity, and colonialism, we believe that a dedicated emphasis on the political economy of DH as a field, as part of the digital mediation of the university and economy as a whole, has yet to be fully theorized. We hope this special issue will generate further theory and discourse about the political and economic dimensions of the field, especially as it pertains to activism and pedagogy."
