Open Assembly and the Collective: Digital Humanities after the Collapse of the Humanities

Given the ways that universities and government agencies have increasingly limited the amount of money available for humanities projects, this talk asks, “how can we build sustainable resources at a time of collapse?” Rather than bemoan the current situation, the talk proposes that we need to rethink how we fund and maintain the work that we do.

About the speaker:

Dino Franco Felluga is professor of English at Purdue University. He is also the general editor of BRANCH: Britain, Representation, and Nineteenth-Century History, and of COVE: Collaborative Organization for Virtual Education.

His talk extends the argument of his next book, Novel-Poetry: The Shape of the Real and the Problem of Form (forthcoming Oxford UP, 2024), to the building of real-world, digital-humanities resources.
