l “Will the use of digital methods lead to an erosion of our most unique facility in the humanities, the aptitude for fine-grained and careful interpretive observation?”
l “Humanities scholars make theoretical and practical advances … by forwarding carefully observed, exquisitely described jewel-box examples. Our small data add nuance and offer counter-narratives ... The finest contribution of the past several decades of humanities research has been to broaden, contextualize, and challenge canonical collections and privileged views. Scholars do this by elevating instances of neglected or alternate lived experience.”
