Transformative Digital Humanities

<p><em>Transformative Digital Humanities</em> takes a two-pronged approach to the digital humanities: it examines the distinct kinds of work currently being undertaken in the field while also addressing current issues in the digital humanities including sustainability accessibility interdisciplinarity and funding. </p><p>With contributions from humanities and LIS scholars based in China Canada England Germany Spain and the United States this collection of case studies provides a framework for readers to develop new projects as well as to see how existing projects might continue to develop over time. This volume also participates in the current digital humanities conversation by bringing forward emerging voices that offer new options for cooperation by demonstrating how the digital humanities can become a tool for activism and by illustrating the potential of the digital humanities to reexamine and reconstitute existing canons.</p><p>Transformative Digital Humanities considers what sorts of challenges still exist in the field and suggests how they might be addressed. As such the book will be essential reading for academics and students engaged in the study of information science and digital humanities. It should also be of great interest to practitioners around the globe. </p>
