What I hope for DH is that the disjunction you speak of gradually fades, as people incorporate elements of it into their work and it becomes commonplace to see digital elements alongside ‘analog’/print culture-oriented ones. In the pedagogy session at DHSI we were discussing this kind of thing – many of the people there had taught classes on conventional topics that were not explicitly labelled as DH but which incorporated digital projects or exercises. It brings to mind the process that occurred with gender studies. In earlier days, women’s writing would be given its own course, but these days it’s pretty rare to find a course that doesn’t devote at least some time to talking about the role of gender, masculinity, queerness etc in the eighteenth-century novel/dystopian fiction/Elizabethan poetry etc. I’d hope that day is not too far off for DH, as its methods and analytic approaches become more & more widespread.

I grapple with this issue all the time, and the best solution I’ve come up with is to keep doing what we’re doing, keep talking about what we’re doing, and wait for the academy to catch up. Having orgs like EMiC for other disciplines would go a long way; getting into DH seems very appealing when it can help put you through school and connect you with a important group of peers.
