As we begin to emerge from a global emergency that continues to challenge how we teach, learn, and build community, digital humanists have an opportunity to model best practices for engaging with digital technologies in the classroom in ways that are both ethical and representative as well as subversive and radical. And what can be more radical than the recent turn to slowing things down, protecting our time, and mutual care? This talk explores the role of intersectional feminism in digital pedagogy and digital humanities training, surveying approaches that disrupt performative representational politics and privilege knowledge co-creation, care, and emotionality as valid forms of humanities inquiry.

This talk was delivered on June 5, 2023, as an Institute Lecture as part of the Digital Humanities Summer Institute (University of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada). The session was chaired by Jon Bath (U Saskatchewan).
