Digital Americanists
This is the wiki-based website for the new professional organization Digital Americanists. According to the constitution adopted on May 26, 2007 at the American Literature Association conference in Boston, MA, the purposes of the society are:
- To support the creation and recognition of scholarship on American literature and culture in digital media, including hemispheric and transnational scholarship.
- To support the development of the technological and administrative infrastructure to sustain and evaluate such scholarship.
- To support informal and formal conversation, reflection, and collaboration among Americanists and other interested parties using the tools of digital scholarship.
We invite you to consider membership in this new organization. Once you've become a member, please add your profile to the Member Profiles section of the website. Additionally, if you work on a digital project relevant to the study of American literature and culture, please add that project to the Associated Digital Projects list.
The current officers (2009-2011) are:
Edward Whitley, President
Amanda Gailey, Vice-President
Tim Powell, Secretary/Treasurer
