Neil Fraistat: Face of "My Daily Read"

Read about an interview with Neil Fraistat in The Chronicle of Higher Education.

Neil Fraistat was featured in The Chronicle of Higher Education’s “My Daily Read” on February 24.  Neil is one of the University’s foremost thinkers in the field of Digital Humanities, and he is the director of the Maryland Institute for Technology in the Humanities (MITH).   Neil has been published in numerous journals, including Digital Humanities Quarterly and Literary and Linguistic Computing; written several full length books on new age textual studies; and conducted extensive editorial work on the poetry of Percy Bysshe Shelley.  He’s received a long list of grants to support his work on the intersection of print text and ever changing digital media.  The Chronicle article takes a Q&A approach to Neil’s scholarship.  The editor asks questions about Neil’s personal reading predilections, in terms of media and genre, and the answers are both astutely funny and insightful.  They give a sense of Neil’s broad interests and show an interesting blend of traditional, ritual print reading and evolving, digital reading (as well as a great app recommendation for iPad users).  Please check out the article to see Neil’s fascinating responses to questions about his own daily reading practices!
