The Digital Humanities Discourse: The Knowledge Question on the Wikipedia: by Sneha PP — published Mar 31, 2014 — last modified Apr 04, 2014 06:34 AM — filed under: Digital Humanities

In this guest blog post, Sohnee Harshey presents a reflection on her research study on the gender-gap on Wikipedia, and the politics of collaborative knowledge production.

While one may still mull over the separation of the real and the virtual, the digital as a condition of existence has engendered new notions of the public sphere, and sought to redefine the methods of traditional humanistic enquiry. In this guest post, Ditilekha Sharma shares some reflections on her research on the queer community and the politics of identity on the Internet, within the perspective of the Digital Humanities.
