[ecrea] New Book: Research Methods for the Digital Humanities

We have just published a new collected volume intended for emerging 
researchers and students working at the intersection of digital media 
and the humanities. We take a critical approach to the field, which is 
influenced by cultural studies. I hope it is useful or of interest to 
you or your students.

This volume introduces the reader to the wide range of methods that 
digital humanities employ, and offers a practical guide to the study, 
interpretation, and presentation of cultural material and practices. In 
this instance, the editors consider digital humanities to include both 
the use of computing to understand cultural material in new ways, and 
the application of theories and methods from the humanities to interpret 
new technologies. Each chapter provides a step-by-step guide to 
cutting-edge methodologies so that students can make informed decisions 
about the methods they use, consider ethical practices, follow practical 
procedures, and present their work effectively. Readers will develop 
practical and reflexive understandings of the software and digital 
devices that they study and use for research, and the book will help new 
researchers collaborate and contribute to their scholarly communities, 
and to public discourse. As contemporary humanities work becomes 
increasingly interdisciplinary, and increasingly permeated by and with 
digital technologies, this volume helps new researchers navigate an 
evolving academic environment. Humanities and social sciences students 
will find this textbook an invaluable resource for assessing and 
creating digital projects.
