Session Abstract
In this roundtable, faculty members will share ideas, resources, and experiences regarding their use of digital humanities tools for teaching LGBT history. In survey classes and seminars, multimedia resources enhance student engagement, deepen students’ understanding, and raise compelling interpretive questions. Presenters will discuss their use of podcasts, online exhibits, peer-reviewed and student-generated blogs, digitized student-author interviews, online oral history collections, and other resources, commenting on how they have integrated these sources into their learning objectives, assignments, and conventional and online sessions. Audience members are strongly encouraged to share their own experiences and resources in what will hopefully be a lively and collaborative session.
