Session I: Debates in Digital Learning This is part 1 of 3 of the third annual multidisciplinary Digital U (Digital University) conference at William Paterson University, presented by the College of Humanities and Social Sciences. The conference explores questions and opportunities for higher education posed by newly emergent technologies. Panelists examine the social and humanistic issues raised for education in the digital age -- specifically, how the social sciences and humanities must adapt to a world in which the digital experience has changed the way people think about life, art, literature, society, and history. In this first part, panelists include Jamie Skye Bianco, clinical assistant professor of media, culture and communication at New York University; Bryan Carter, assistant professor of Africana Studies at University of Arizona; and Todd F. Hughes, director of instructional technologies at Vanderbilt University. Stephen Newton, associate professor of English at William Paterson University, moderates.
Keynote Address: Networking Knowledge and the University to Come: The View from the Humanities and Social Sciences This second part includes the keynote address by David Theo Goldberg, professor of comparative literature at the University of California, Irvine, and director of the UC Humanities Research Institute.
Session II: Practices in Digital Teaching In this third and final part, panelists include Jessie Daniels, professor of public health, sociology and critical psychology at the City University of New York (CUNY); Stephen Duncombe, professor in the Gallatin School at New York University; and Fiona M. Hollands, associate director and a senior researcher at the Center for Benefit-Cost Studies of Education at the Teachers College of Columbia University.
