Section Information for Spring 2023

Digital storytelling can be many things: narrative . . . interactive . . . linear . . . nonlinear . . . immersive . . . ethnographic. . . artistic. It can also be scholarly. In higher education, scholarly digital storytelling can provide a compelling medium for reimagining academic research, intended audiences, and scholarly communication. It can provide opportunities to reexamine evidence and arguments, reframe academic research, and learn practical digital skills. This interdisciplinary graduate class focuses on telling scholarly stories in new ways and to new audiences.

We will investigate a range of questions through exploration, research, and experimentation: What is scholarly digital storytelling? How do we tell stories related to academic research through digital media? How does scholarly digital storytelling work in the classroom? The course combines reading, viewing, writing, and hands-on practice. Students will learn practical digital, research, and storytelling skills. Each student will create a scholarly digital story based on their academic research or area of study with the goal of improving scholarly communication.
