In this episode, the usual hosts welcome Susan Fernsebner for a broader discussion about digital humanities and teaching. We reminisce about what has worked well in the classroom, what needs some tweaking, “experiments” using digital methods, and how teaching itself has changed from all of it. We also talk specifically about what DH can bring to East Asian history classes. We hope you enjoy the discussion as much as we did!
