Dudes Code, Ladies Coordinate: Gendered Labor in Digital Scholarship
Rafia Mirza(1), Maura Seale(2)
1: UT Arlington Library, United States of America; 2: Georgetown University, United States of America
 
This presentation will consider the often invisible, frequently ignored labor that is behind digital scholarship. The work of digital scholarship librarians is emotional or affective, and consequently gendered. This work is always undergirded by the maintenance and creation of both relationships, and the technical infrastructure required for scholarly work.

Examining Digital Humanities Projects and Libraries: Labor, Community, and Networks
Robin Kear, Kate Joranson
University of Pittsburgh, United States of America
 
Themes from a forthcoming edited book, Digital Humanities, Libraries, and Partnerships, will be discussed. Libraries find themselves at the intersection of a number of larger issues in higher education, such as labor equity, digital pedagogy, and community involvement, which we explore by articulating the complexities of DH partnerships.
