DH and DM courses encourage creative problem solving and fun, engaging projects encouraging our students to perform more labor in our classes. In doing so, are we training our students to replicate unfair work practices?

Our talk explores the tensions between what we envision as an empowering pedagogical project of placing the tools of open access publishing in students’ hands and the ethics entwined in the free labour that online publishing relies on.
Lindsay Thomas
DH graduate courses often argue that they provide students with professionalization opportunities and experience, but what does “professionalization” mean in this context? What are we training graduate students for when we train them in the digital humanities, and what are the connections between this training, the current state of the academic job market, and graduate curriculum itself?
Susan Schreibman
If we consider the Digital Humanities as a discipline in its own right, with its own mores, values, and methods, then what role does pedagogy play in developing, expanding, and defining the discipline? Because DH practitioners come from a multitude of traditional disciplinary boundaries, how do our different practices and methods impact upon the DH classroom?
