Getting Started with WordPress and Whittier Domains

Spotlight: Rosemary Carbine
This past spring, Visiting Associate Professor of Religious Studies Rosemary Carbine taught her course Green Religion at Whittier College but this time she introduced some new digital elements. DigLibArts asked her to share her digital pedagogy experience: Tell us about the class that you taught and how you worked with DigLibArts. How do you normally …
Digital Projects
While USC’s Scalar server was down due to university-wide network issues this past weekend, I installed my own instance of Scalar on my Reclaim Hosting domain and tested it out by creating this Digital Projects book. It’s an incredibly simple book that curates my collaborative projects and teaching and visualizes them neatly. If you’re interested in learning more about Scalar, check out the workshop I held at Whittier College on Teaching with Scalar.
Some course descriptions are up!
Headline: In SPRING 2017 I will pair my Chican@ Literature class with Prof. José Orozco’s BORDER HISTORIES class. Get your CON 1 requirement filled, and come with us to learn about current realities at the border.
I have taken two separate classes on trips to the Mexican border, where we have visited with Andrea Guerrero to see her inspiring work at Alliance San Diego. Join us next Spring!
I have also now posted course descriptions and syllabi for my ENGL 302 Digital Creative Writing and for my ENGL 410 Senior Seminar: Capitalist Realism. I promise I make the application of critiques of economic theory to cultural studies breathlessly exciting.
If you are curious about “No Praise, No Punishment,” you can now see my Teaching Philosophy online.
Stay tuned to this space for an upcoming description of my Spring 2017 Screenwriting: The Television Pilot class.
(And once again, don’t forget to check out the portfolio of student work from Digital Creative Writing.)
