[edit] The Sweetland Digital Rhetoric Collaborative

Originally edited by --Sbblevin@uncg.edu 17:18, 14 November 2014 (EST)

The Digital Rhetoric Collaborative (DRC) is a collective venture to house resources related to digital rhetoric and computers and writing, and to create a community space where people working in these areas can share ideas, scholarship, and general conversation.[1]

Emerging from the 2011 Computers and Writing, the DRC arose from discussions about digital humanities, the rise of the digital monograph as norm, and desire for a way to continue computers and writing conversations between annual conferences.[2]The DRC further evolved at WIDE-EMU '11 and '12.[3]

The DRC is supported by the Gayle Morris Sweetland Center for Writing.[1] Board members, directors, yearly cohorts of graduate students, and the DRC community guide the collaborative's work.[4]

[edit] Work

As a space for involvement, the DRC

  • publishes with the University of Michigan Press a book series of born-digital as well as digitally-enhanced submissions — in the form of collections, monographs, or teaching materials of varying lengths and genres [5]
  • hosts a curated blog where participants can discuss issues and innovations and participate in blog carnivals;[6]
  • provides a space for sharing resources for instructors interested in teaching digital media and rhetoric and working with computers and writing;[7]
  • provides conversation space for extended dialogues; [8]
  • provides reviews of the annual meetings of Computers and Writing (and other related conferences and events) in order to make proceedings accessible to a wider audience; [9]
  • hosts a wiki where the histories and futures of digital rhetoric can be discovered and discussed. [10]

The DRC maintains active social media presences on Facebook [2], Twitter[3], and Pinterest [4]. DRC directors and fellows have participated in planning and Do-Make sessions at WIDE-EMU. [11][12] The directors and fellows have presented at Computers and Writing. [13]

[edit] Award

The UM Press/Sweetland Publication Prize in Digital Rhetoric is awarded annually to an innovative and important born-digital or substantially digitally- enhanced book-length project that displays critical and rigorous engagement in the field of digital rhetoric.[14]
