Embedded Pedagogies: Digital Humanities Teaching and the Infrastructure of ChangeThis volume offers a timely and incisive exploration of teaching in an era of institutional instability and political pressure.www.openbookpublishers.comThe book is all about how institutions structure certain kinds of teaching and how we push back. And it opens and closes with discussions of a similar teaching space at UVA. Fixed rooms and how to unbolt them.
Embedded Pedagogies has a cover! I liked this image of the ones that were shared because it shows someone reading a large music score alone in a rows of auditorium-style seating. The room is structured for a certain kind of interaction and a poor fit for what he is trying to do.
