The UK Times Higher Ed published an article about the closing plenary lecture at the Digital Humanities conference in London. But I feel that there is some miscommunication happened. Something was lost from what the speaker, Dr Melissa Terras, perhaps intended and what the author of the Times Higher Ed article wrote.
Since when does the Digital Humanities make web pages? Any one can make a web page and it doesn’t take a classically educated scholar which a PhD and 3 books to do this well.
It takes about 1/2 day to make a web site look good (depending on the size and complexity of the site and the skills of the creator). Someone doesn’t get it. A dentist has to wash the front window of her/his surgery just as a Digital Humanist has to spell correctly (apologies for my tardy blogging). But this isn’t the whole story.
