- a community of practice
What’s under the DH umbrella?
- digital pedagogy/classroom technologies
- computational research/humanities data
- web archives/digital editions/online resources
- critical responses to technology (STS, critical code studies)
There is more than one job market.
Ac / Alt-Ac / Non-Ac
Academic jobs
- in a primary field with DH as secondary interest
- with DH/data/computation as primary field
Alt-Ac jobs

DH is more than its stereotype.
