Susan Schreibman awarded Ángel David Nieves Book Award (Edited Collection)
Susan Schreibman was awarded the Ángel David Nieves Book Award (Edited Collection) by the American Studies Association. The prize is awarded yearly for the best digital or public humanities project on city and regional planning history. Susan received the prize for her book Feminist Digital Humanities: Intersections in Practice, co-edited with Lisa Marie Rhody.
About the Book
Feminist digital humanities offers opportunities for exploring, exposing, and revaluing marginalized forms of knowledge and enacting new processes for creating meaning. Lisa Marie Rhody and Susan Schreibman present essays that explore digital humanities practice as rich terrain for feminist creativity and critique.
The editors divide the works into three categories. In the first section, contributors offer readings that demonstrate how feminist thought can be put into operation through digital practice or via analytical approaches, methodologies, and interpretations. A second section structured around infrastructure considers how technologies of knowledge creation, publication, access, and sharing can be formed or reformed through feminist values. The final section focuses on pedagogies and proposes feminist strategies for preparing students to become critical and confident readers with and against technologies. Susan Schreibman and Monika Barget authored one of the chapters in the ‘Readings Section’ entitled 'Feminist DH: Historical Perspective: Excavating the Lives of Women of the Past’.
Aimed at readers in and out of the classroom, Feminist Digital Humanities reveals the many ways scholars have pushed beyond critique to practice digital humanities in new ways. The book is available open access.
