Long description:

The Companion to Digital Humanities in Practice offers international perspectives on how we teach and research in and with digital humanities today.

Building on the foundation of earlier publications that focused on practice in the field, this Companion provides a significant treatment of pertinent issues and contexts, extending breadth and depth, as well as reach, in terms of geographical diversity of topics and contributors. Divided into four sections, each with a high-level practice-oriented focus, the volume covers data; tools and techniques; communication, dissemination and engagement; and pedagogical practices. Contributors to the volume include both established and emerging scholars. Foregrounding and critically reviewing the emergence and development of standards-based communities of practice, the Companion provides an overview of core competencies; conceptualized case studies; and links to further reading, training materials and exercises.

The Companion to Digital Humanities in Practice will appeal to academics, researchers, and postgraduate students working in DH, literary studies, history, and the humanities more broadly. It should also be of interest to professionals working in DH and galleries, libraries, archives, and museums.

An Open Access version of the book will be available at https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/oa-edit/10.4324/9781003327677/companion-digital-humanities-practice-ray-siemens-laura-estill-constance-crompton-richard-lane?context=ubx&refId=ef1c5dcc-6016-4aaf-8d7f-57a2e64637b0.
