The Digital Dissertator

About

Mission

The Digital Disserator encourages interdisciplinary collaboration among women dissertators, public scholarship, and the exploration of digital tools in research, publication, and pedagogy.

The Digital Dissertator is a platform for interdisciplinary collaboration among women, women-identified, trans, non-binary (gender fluid, non-conforming) scholars in the dissertation phase of their Ph.D. program. It additionally provides a place to share dissertation experiences and research beyond the Ph.D. committee, in the hopes that students' work will reach a broader audience and strenghten public scholarship in academia. Finally, The Digital Dissertator explores digital tools and their use in academia broadly and the humanities in particular.
