Full Abstract
This talk will draw connections between the interdisciplinary collaborations and technical innovations in marine biology in the mid-20th century and the contemporary opportunities and affordances of digital infrastructures for learning and research. What deep dives should we take into understanding, choosing, and utilizing technologies? How do these choices reflect our pedagogical and disciplinary boundaries? And how might our reckoning with the contexts of digital scholarship help students reconcile tensions between surfaces and depths, private and public scholarship, and our academic and professional selves?
