Melissa Terras wrote the article, Disciplined: Using Educational Studies to Analyse \u2018Humanities Computing.\u2019 Throughout the article, she argues on why the discipline has trouble finding funds and what the implications are throughout the Digital Humanities. Though the studies are different between digital humanities and technological studies might be two separate entities of itself, I thoroughly believe that the argument helps secure the idea that the two subjects (Digital humanities and engineering) consist of the same ideals and care for the same things.<\/p>\n

Terras quotes Philip Jackson:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2018Hidden Curriculum\u2026\u2019 refers to the fact that education is a socialization process, and that cultural norms, socially accepted practices and acceptable types and levels of knowledge are passed on to students through the way the teaching process is constructed. [78]<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Jackson\u2019s statement can be used in all disciplines but also states that this curriculum is also based off of what is socially acceptable and the norms in the society that we live in today. Even though our society today is leaning more towards STEM instead of the humanities, we can all come to agree that no matter what discipline you might be a part of, we must all be aware of the continuous changes within the subjects and the way that people learn so that the disciplines can all be transgressing and transitioning the same way that our education is.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This particular idea is also supported by McGann in the way that we must adapt to keep learning. Though Terras believes that, \u201cit is hard to define a skills set to pass in which would individually define discipline, rather than just providing technical \u2018training\u2019 on specific computer technologies;\u201d I fully believe that within each discipline, there are some commonalities that we all share [69]. This is also supported by the chart that Terras provides on page 86. This chart provides an assessment of different disciplines at a \u201chumanities computing\u201d event. Yes, the predominant majority of presenters were disciplinarians in the humanities (Library Science, English, and even Computer Science), but the fact that a handful of the presenters were from disciplines like computer science and digital technologies demonstrates that there is a commonality between those in the STEM oriented disciplines and those in the humanities.<\/p>\n

In class today, we had a discussion on the differences that we read in the article. These differences that we mentioned were more along the lines of her writing style rather than the digital humanities itself. I would like to note that I find it interesting how we talked about we believed that Terras is trying to state that this is more along the lines of a community and not by a method. I believe this really hits home with the idea that though computer science or engineering is quite different than the digital humanities, we use the same guidelines (technology) to further our educational purposes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
