This year long series of workshops starts from a simple premise:<\/em><\/p>\n

What does it look like to think, engage, and do research in this digital age?<\/em><\/p>\n

This question cuts across the ways we consume culture, digest news, carry out politics, and craft ourselves. This series is a call for researchers to account for the ever increasingly digital world in which we live. In order to better activate our scholarship we must reimagine our methods, modes of collaboration, and how to participate in these quickly changing digital landscapes.<\/em><\/p>\n

Many junior scholars are now working across a digital multimedia landscape and they are pushing the genres of storytelling, engagement, augmentation – thus changing the scales and shapes of their scholarship. Digital Forays in Middle Eastern Studies addresses threads from the Digital Humanities (DH), but also from an array of other ambiguous buzzwords: “Digital Scholarship,” “Public Humanities,” “Digital Publishing,\u201d \u201cBig Data.\u201d At stake in changing methodologies are a range of interconnected issues that amount to seismic shifts in how we deepen, develop, and disseminate our research. Indeed, at present, the perils\/promise of our digital age are exemplified by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has forced the most basic scholarly activities of teaching and research into online-compatible modalities – and ongoing dissent and protest in the Middle East (and around the world) where digital devices become appendages of how we capture, circulate, and remake the world.<\/p>\n
