Digital Humanities Course Lecturer

Teach a digital humanities-focused course at the University of Toronto, featuring digital tools and contemporary literary forms. The section meets Thursday afternoons.

The Sessional Lecturer introduces students to changing texts, reading practices, readerships, and definitions of the literary. Topics span fan fiction, webcomics, viral Tumblr posts, tweets, and video games. Students also explore tools for textual study and preservation. A practical project may involve creating a narrative game with Twine, curating an Omeka digital exhibit, or developing an argument with visualization software.
