Stephen Ramsay

Stephen Ramsay, an Associate Professor of English and a fellow at the Center for Digital Research in the Humanities, offers a spirited defense of digital humanities in his new book. He explores how technology reshapes communication and community, reflecting on societal fears regarding its impact. Ramsay contrasts the enduring value of printed books with the rise of digital formats, delves into the emotional connections we have with physical books versus e-books, and tackles the debate on whether audiobooks qualify as 'reading.' His insights provoke thought about the interplay between technology and the humanities.
