DARIAH-EU Director Susan Schreibman is the co-editor of this newly published Open Access book entitled Feminist Digital Humanities: Intersections in Practice. Feminist digital humanities offers opportunities for exploring, exposing, and revaluing marginalized forms of knowledge and enacting new processes for creating meaning. Edited by Lisa Marie Rhody and Susan Schreibman, the volume consists of twelve chapters that explore digital humanities practice as rich terrain for feminist creativity and critique.
The editors divide the works into three categories. In the first section entitled ‘Readings’, contributors explore how feminist thought can be put into operation through digital practice or via analytical approaches, methodologies, and interpretations. The second section entitled ‘Infrastructures’ considers how technologies of knowledge creation, publication, access, and sharing can be formed or reformed through feminist values. The final section, entitled ‘Pedagogies’ focuses on teaching practices and proposes feminist strategies for preparing students to become critical and confident readers with and against technologies.
“Assembling this volume during the pandemic, we editors, as straight, white women, witnessed how much more is required of colleagues who experience complex intersections of oppression born out of academia’s white, male, colonialist legacy. Some contributors had to withdraw while others were invited. Childcare responsibilities, teaching in new online modalities, course revamping, and the general stress of the pandemic delayed, changed, and caused revisions to submissions. The resultant collection is not what we originally imagined: it is stronger. Some of that strength comes from collaborations and contributions that are not immediately visible in the final volume that, nevertheless, helped shape our work. This collection is, therefore, timely and relevant to the field because the work of dismantling systems of oppression, illuminating invisible labor, and lifting silenced voices remains necessary and ongoing.”

Aimed at readers in and out of the classroom, Feminist Digital Humanities reveals the many ways scholars have pushed beyond critique to practice digital humanities in new ways.
