This 17-minute screencast of a prezi was composed for the Digital Humanities 2013 conference in Lincoln, NE (for presentation on July 17, 2013). This is the long version of the video. A shorter, 7-minute version was edited and presented in my absence at the conference. 

**Abstract for the roundtable on "The Future of Undergraduate Digital Humanities"**

Ball highlights how digital writing studies (a discipline beginning its fourth decade that integrates digital technology into its writing pedagogy and research) has always focused on issues current to discussions of "making" in the digital humanities: collaboration, openness, multimodality, and peer-review. Ball argues that a digital publishing curriculum, in which undergraduate students theorize and produce texts meant for an audience outside of the classroom (a key concept to digital writing studies pedagogy), is a model for DH in how it bridges theory and praxis across multiple disciplines in the humanities.
