Digital Humanities Reading Group: September

The Digital Humanities Reading Group is a light and easy way to get into regularly discussing peer-reviewed DH work, no previous knowledge necessary. Everyone is welcome.

The group is across the Humanities faculty and is currently hosted at Engerom.

We discuss either a work-in-progress text by one of the participants, a guest presentation, or a published paper, as part of an informal and friendly meet-up.

This session, we will discuss Barrett, Paul. “Unjust Readings: Against the New New Criticism.” Digital Humanities Quarterly 19, no. 1 (2025). Accessible via: https://dhq.digitalhumanities.org/vol/19/1/000764/000764.html

• 15 minutes - Discussion of the methodologies used in the paper – helping each other to understand anything that is unfamiliar, technical or otherwise
• 15 minutes - Discussion of the ‘why’ behind the paper – why do we think the journal chose to publish it?
• 15 minutes - Is there anything from the paper we could use for our own research? (roundtable)
