As exciting as new university DH Centers are, as much as they open up new methods of scholarship, I wonder how much their reach extends beyond universities to K-12 education and the general public. How have digital humanities projects involved our K-12 students? Our senior citizens? Our local government? How can university DH centers, museums, and public libraries work together to include those outside university walls? Should we / could we crowdsource geneaology, create internships for high school students, capture disappearing local history, create a TEI MOOC, more? What sort of projects like this already exist?
I see some overlap with the Techno Haves and Have Nots session, in that I’m interested in how digital humanities projects are a vehicle by which the intellectual methods of the humanities can be brought to all that are interested (regardless of digital savvy or place in university.)
