Members of the #DHReads community join Liquid Margins to talk about how they use social annotation in their digital humanities virtual reading group. Andy Boyles Petersen from Michigan State University, Arun Jacob from the University of Toronto, and Hayley Stefan from the College of the Holy Cross share their experiences using Hypothesis as a way of meaning-making and community-building, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Please note that this is a pedagogical discussion on the ways social annotation can aid in understanding texts. For a breakdown and demo on using Hypothesis, RSVP for one of our Hypothesis 101 webinars.
