Digital Media Facilitates/Enhances, but Does not Guarantee
• Interdisiplinarity (Alan Liu, not an approach, but a method, “a line of flight away” from established and rigid systems of knowledge)
• Praxis, fluency across languages (Johanna Drucker, practice not tools are key, new skills across expressive, critical, informational registers) brings new knowledge
• Collaboration (Roy Ascott’s Telematics) we know more together than individually
• Storytelling and Storyworlds, new narrative forms

Working with Students

• Teachable moment on public/academic divides, how do they want to participate?
• Suggest Avatars
• Always offer privacy option for work even if you or class decide on public context
Working with Community • Provide context for engagement for
both students + community • Active Listening exercise (connect
to context, history, issues of diversity)
• Documentary Release Forms are essential (parental signatures as needed); informed choice on sharing story
• Protect Privacy (Names, Images) • Encourage
Collaboration/Participatory Projects
• Story Center Site: http://static1.squarespace.com/static/55368c08e4b0d419e1c011f7/t/55e92424e4b0e50993544719/1441342500305/Ethics.pdf

The Digital and Public Scholarship
• Engaged and Public Scholarship has long tradition from Hannah Arendt, Howard Zinn, Judith Butler, Cornell West, bell hooks.
• What would it mean to have digital scholarship that is not public?
• Does Digital Scholarship drift to engaged scholarship?
• Ethical Responsibility of Public Scholarship
• Censorship (institutional and self) of work from public/engaged scholars
