The Palgrave Handbook of Digital and Public Humanities

Anne Schwan is Professor in English at Edinburgh Napier University. She has published on the history and representation of crime and imprisonment. She set up an award-winning partnership with the Scottish Prison Service and was involved in public engagement activities to raise awareness of First World War Internment Camps.

Tara Thomson is Lecturer in English and Film at Edinburgh Napier University. She has published on literary and geospatial data, data visualization, and digital engagement with cultural heritage. She is a project partner with UNESCO City of Literature Trust, researching literary data, digital experiences and engagement for Edinburgh's Literature House.

This handbook brings together recent international scholarship and developments in the interdisciplinary fields of digital and public humanities. Exploring key concepts, theories, practices and debates within both the digital and public humanities, the handbook also assesses how these two areas are increasingly intertwined. Key questions of access, ownership, authorship and representation link the individual sections and contributions. The handbook includes perspectives from the Global South and presents scholarship and practice that engage with a multiplicity of underrepresented 'publics', including LGBTQ+ communities, ethnic and linguistic minorities, the incarcerated and those affected by personal or collective trauma.
