Bucknell University, with support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, hosted its second annual digital scholarship conference on November 6-8, 2015. The theme of the conference was “Collaborating Digitally: Engaging Students in Public Scholarship.”
This conference brought together a broad community of practitioners–faculty, researchers, librarians, educational technologists, and students–engaged in digital scholarship in research and teaching who share a focus on public scholarship. The topic acknowledges the importance of expanding learning experiences beyond the University. Whether privileging research that is public in scope or topic, encouraging work that pursues public impact, or fostering digital literacy skills necessary to create multi-modal projects for public audiences, digital scholarship provides many avenues to consider and reconsider multiple publics.
Presentations highlighted a range of collaborations: between institutions of higher education; across disciplines; between faculty, librarians, and technologists; and between faculty and students. We welcome contributions from scholars, educators, technologists, librarians, administrators, and students who use digital tools and methods, and encourage submissions from emerging and established scholar-practitioners alike, including those who are new to digital collaboration.
