Digital Humanities Pedagogy is a compelling and important collection of work on different aspects of pedagogy in the digital humanities, raising an extremely timely set of questions for instructors, advisors, and administrators alike.
— Kathleen Fitzpatrick, Director of Scholarly Communication, Modern Language Association

This collection makes an important contribution to DH pedagogy’s coming out and may help transform it from forgotten stepchild of the DH movement to the more appropriate and elevated status it deserves.
— Stephen Brier, Literary and Linguistic Computing, July 2013

I really appreciate it because of its richness and carefulness, and for the deep insights provided. I would certainly suggest it to anybody involved in teaching digital humanities at university level.
— Giuliana Dettori, British Journal of Educational Technology, 45.2, 2014

Overall, this collection is a much-needed resource for the digital humanities community. Not only does it introduce the field to many professors and students who might not know the digital humanities at all, but it also provides real-world, step-by-step accounts of how programs using the digital humanities have been put in place and implemented across various institutions.
— Erik Shell, Digital Humanities Quarterly, 8.2, 2014

Academic institutions are starting to recognize the growing public interest in digital humanities research, and there is an increasing demand from students for formal training in its methods. Despite the pressure on practitioners to develop innovative courses, scholarship in this area has tended to focus on research methods, theories and results rather than critical pedagogy and the actual practice of teaching.

The essays in this collection offer a timely intervention in digital humanities scholarship, bringing together established and emerging scholars from a variety of humanities disciplines across the world. The first section offers views on the practical realities of teaching digital humanities at undergraduate and graduate levels, presenting case studies and snapshots of the authors’ experiences alongside models for future courses and reflections on pedagogical successes and failures. The next section proposes strategies for teaching foundational digital humanities methods across a variety of scholarly disciplines, and the book concludes with wider debates about the place of digital humanities in the academy, from the field’s cultural assumptions and social obligations to its political visions.

Digital Humanities Pedagogy broadens the ways in which both scholars and practitioners can think about this emerging discipline, ensuring its ongoing development, vitality and long-term sustainability.

The University of Western Australia Research Development Award has generously contributed towards the publication of this volume.
