The field of digital humanities (DH) has undergone significant transformation as it has transitioned from the margins of academic research to the classroom. This timely volume delves into the teaching of DH and uncovers valuable insights into the field. While institutions have formally integrated DH into their curricula and offered degrees in the field, many instructors are still relatively new to DH, mirroring the experiences of their students. As colleagues seek to define digital humanities, we have the opportunity to respond by showcasing how DH is taught.

The contributors to What We Teach When We Teach DH come from diverse disciplines, including literary and cultural studies, history, art history, philosophy, and library science. Their essays are structured around four critical themes central to DH pedagogy: teachers, students, classrooms, and collaborations. This book highlights the transformative power of DH in enhancing learning across a wide range of curricular structures, institutions, and educational levels. From high schools and small liberal arts colleges to research-intensive institutions and postgraduate professional development programs, DH has the potential to revolutionize teaching and learning.
