Courses

A complete list of the classes I’ve taught can be found on my Vita. All classes I taught before 2010 were conducted using Collab, the University of Virginia’s course management system. The list here reflects the period since the Fall of 2010, when I started keeping publicly available platforms for my classes.

The University of Virginia, Media Studies Department:

• Code, Language and Code, Spring 2012.

  In this course students explore the intersection between culture and software in the context of building and manipulating an online database of texts, images, and other media for scholars in the liberal arts. The course is divided into seminar and studio components. As a seminar, students focus on software as culture, drawing from interpretation theory and the emerging fields of software and code studies. As a studio, students apply and critique the theory as they build software environments to organize, represent and analyze cultural resources.

• Introduction to the Digital Liberal Arts, Fall 2011

  This course combines the critical space of a seminar with the hands-on approach of the studio. The range of the course is that of a third-year survey class. Discussion topics include, the history of humanities computing, issues in scholarly communication, remediation, etc. The practicum involves web design, advanced research techniques, textual processing, etc.

The University of Virginia, Department of English:

• Digital Workshop (Project Tango), Fall 2010.
