Digital humanities pedagogy edited by Brett Hirsch asks us to start thinking critically not only about what is taught under the banner of "digital humanities" and how it is taught, but also to consider the broader institutional implications and political consequences, of doing so. The book is divided into sections: practices, principles and politics. Essays on practice include Willard McCarty's on the first PhD program in digital humanities, established in 2005 at the then Centre for Computing in the Humanities at King's College London; "Teaching digital skills in an archives and public history curriculum" by Peter Wosh and others; and Olin Bjork's essay on "Digital humanities and the first-year writing course". Essays on principles cover what is "more important than the use of machines" in the digital humanities - that is, "new ways of thinking." The final section of the book on politics proposes a political vision for digital humanities - for digital humanities classrooms to create a more inclusive, diverse environment.
