This course will guide attendees through the process of developing and enhancing student engagement and educational digital humanities programming using equity, advocacy, and care frameworks. Informed by liberatory and feminist pedagogies, this workshop will demonstrate how to build DH programming that meets the diverse educational and research needs of students, faculty, institutions, and community partners. Participants will read and discuss critical studies that explain how experiential and educational digital humanities programming can be used to build equitable and interdisciplinary learning spaces that enhance career readiness and skill-building for students while contributing to the research of faculty and community partners. Participants will actively ideate, collaborate, and construct strategies for designing advocacy-driven digital humanities labs, curriculum modules, and experiential programs that integrate with equity curriculum. They will write program goals, explore funding options, design recruitment plans, learn about project management techniques, find technical support options, and develop program assessments. By the end of the course, attendees leave with can project plan that they can implement at their institutions.
