Overview
[AI Summary]: Brandon Walsh from UVA Scholars’ Lab proposes a question-based framework for teaching introductory digital humanities courses, inspired by Roopika Risam’s DH 2025 keynote. Instead of the traditional “What is digital humanities?” opening, Walsh suggests four activating questions for a 4-session workshop series: “What is DH?” (disciplinary scavenger hunt), “How do we do DH?” (methods sampler), “What do we need DH to be?” (budgeting workshop), and “What is DH for me?” (project proposal design). The approach aims to help students see themselves in the field and develop personalized understanding of digital humanities.
