Here are my tweets from last night’s William Pannapacker lecture at Messiah College on digital humanities and the liberal arts. It was an excellent introduction to the field of digital humanities. For more tweets check out #dhmessiah on Twitter. In fact, #dhmessiah was the hottest hashtag in the Harrisburg, PA area last night.
