Part 1: Defining Field Connections - Guiding Questions

* What is the relationship between rhetoric/cultural rhetorics/computers and writing/computational rhetorics/ and the digital humanities? * What are some of the disciplinary/funding/collaborative challenges for scholars of rhetoric working in the digital humanities or for digital humanities scholars using rhetorical methods? What is at stake in claiming one disciplinary identity over another? * How might the digital humanities shape and redefine the relationship of rhetorical studies to ?

Part 2: Research and Methodology - Guiding Questions

Each of the chapters in this section will include discussion of one or more DH projects.

* What are some of the emerging digital research and methodological connections common to rhetorical studies/computers and writing and the digital humanities? * What research methods in rhetorical studies/computers and writing complement the work that’s currently underway in the digital humanities? How might the digital humanities as a field benefit from qualitative approaches to rhetoric research? How might rhetorical scholars working with computers benefit from the disciplinary identity of digital humanities? * What are the opportunities for research collaboration between scholars of rhetorical studies and other disciplines now working under the umbrella of the digital humanities? * What rhetorical questions/studies are possible through “big data” and computational rhetorics? * How might collaboration in the digital humanities prompt scholars in rhetorical studies to rethink their model for doing research? * How do various project funding and labor models in the digital humanities speak to the experiences of scholars in rhetorical studies/computers and writing?

Part 3: Interdisciplinary Trajectories - Guiding Questions

These are short position pieces of no more than five to eight pages.

* How will the digital humanities change the way scholars in rhetorical studies/computers and writing approach research/collaboration/interdisciplinary conversations/teaching? * How might collaboration within the digital humanities shape/impact/change specific field conversations in rhetorical studies? * How might the intersection of digital humanities and rhetorical studies influence English studies at the department and institutional levels? * What is at stake, as a discipline, in not being a part of these larger interdisciplinary field conversations? * How might the digital humanities challenge and shape existing notions of disciplinarity and/or the job market?
