Brian Croxall deposited Introduction to Digital Humanities, Fall 2011 syllabus on MLA Commons 9 years, 6 months ago
This syllabus was my first attempt at creating a course to introduce digital humanities at an undergraduate level. The course was organized loosely around three projects: mapping a novel; reading a novel collaboratively with 4 other courses at 4 other colleges and universities; and text analysis connected to archival sources.

Brian Croxall replied to the topic Recent talk on #altac and #postac in the discussion
Connected Academics on MLA Commons 10 years, 6 months agoIn practice, Stacy, no one asked for permission to get outside jobs, and almost everyone did it at one point or another throughout grad school. That said, it’s insulting in so many different ways to think that they would attempt to police this.

Connected Academics on MLA Commons 10 years, 6 months agoThanks, Nicky. I think the de-stigmatizing is a hard thing to do for all sorts of reasons. But the more we can talk about it out loud, the more progress we make. And I think it also helps to talk about how it felt. I was a bit more pathetic (read, pathos) in the presentation in certain parts than I published on the blog.

Brian Croxall started the topic Recent talk on #altac and #postac in the discussion
Connected Academics on MLA Commons 10 years, 6 months agoI gave a talk in March at Purdue about what graduate students and faculty could individually and jointly do to help with preparing students for a variety of different employment opportunities. I posted the talk this week on my blog, and thought I would share it here as a potential resource/point of discussion: http://www.briancroxall.net/2015/07/28…[Read more]

Brian Croxall deposited Annihilated Time, Smooth Surfaces, and Rough Edges in Steampunk and Schivelbusch’s _The Railway Journey_: A Departure Point in the group
Twentieth-Century English Literature on MLA Commons 10 years, 8 months agoThis paper questions how Wolfgang’s Schivelbusch’s seminal study of railway networks in 19th-century should lead us to think differently about trains and transportation within steampunk. The paper considers how both the railway and steampunk annihilate space and time; act as transportation networks; and foreground reading practices, or the lack…[Read more]

As many of you will have heard, Resolution 2014-1 got 60% of the votes cast but did not reach the minimum of 10% of the total membership required (by a recent rule) in order to be officially adopted. Thank you to all who voted. I attach an op-ed by David Lloyd that to my mind gives a good sense of the meaning of the event:

I’m among the 1500, but what worries me more than the opposition is the apathy of those who did not care to cast any vote. Not that we are much different here in Poland… Thank you for your post.

Thank you to everyone who voted on resolution 2014-1. As you will have heard, the resolution got 60% of the votes in its favor but did not pass because it did not reach the minimum of 10% of the membership required (by a recent rule). This still counts as a major victory. I attach an op-ed by David Lloyd:

Prove participatory citizenship is still alive! Vote on the MLA resolution! Last 8 hours!

Bruce W. Robbins posted an update on MLA Commons 11 years, 8 months ago
Please forgive me for being exceedingly tedious on the subject of the vote, which ends at midnight tonight. The bar of 10% of the membership that resolutions have to pass is a relatively new one, and arguably not a good one, given the general indifference (which those who proposed it probably were counting on). But it is still possible to prove…[Read more]
