Yesterday some of the HASTAC staff met with Robin Kirk of the Duke Human Rights Center (www.duke.edu/web/rightsatduke/ and www.robinkirk.com). We wanted to explore the possibility of collaborating, in exploring some of the issues at the intersection of human rights and digital media/new technologies. In the course of our conversation I had the great luck to learn lots about what's happening vis--vis human rights at Duke and around the globe

Academia's goal may be the free exchange of ideas, but up to now many universities have been wary--if not downright dismissive--of their professors using the Internet and other digital media to supercharge that exchange. Yet in a signal that digital scholarship is the future, the latest issue of MIT's Leonardo magazine showcases the recently approved academic guidelines of the University of Maine's New Media Department as a model for other universities to consider.

This is a continuation of ?Digital Media and Learning and Twitter at MLA? (http://www.hastac.org/node/1866 and http://www.hastac.org/node/1867). In the first two postings, I wrote about the Twitter/Microblogging session and my presentation on HASTAC and on the MacArthur Foundation?s Digital Media and Learning Initiative at the session entitled ?Humanities 2.0: Participatory Learning in an Age of Technology? that featured three winners of the MacArthur Foundation Competition in Digital Media and Learning. The session was chaired by Zita Nunes and featured Howard Rheingold (Social Media Classroom), Todd Presner (Hypercities), Greg Niemeyer and Antero Garcia (Black Cloud). You can chart the progress of these and all of the Digital Media and Learning Competition projects on the Winners Hub at http://hub.dmlcompetition.net/.
