• Title / Position: Tenure Track-English Dept
• Organization: Mt Hood Community College

I've been teaching at community colleges since 1994, in the Midwest and Pacific NW, and have watched technology take over the classroom. It's now time for our English department at MHCC to develop a Digital Humanities focus, and last year I spent many hours researching the growth of Digital Humanities and trying to persuade the powers on campus that we need a Digital Humanities department. Additionally, I follow the NEH Digital Humanities website, watching for grants and other start-up funding for Digital Humanities at the Community College, and THATcamp will be a paramount source of information to help the department push for funding.
