Teaching the Middle English Text Series (METS): A Roundtable in Honor of Russell A. Peck Co-sponsors: Rossell Hope Robbins Library (University of Rochester) and TEAMS

This roundtable will celebrate the legacy of Russell Peck as the founder of the TEAMS Middle English Text Series (METS) and an award-winning educator. It will also celebrate the launch of the METS' new digital editions. We invite participants to share innovative approaches to using METS texts in the classroom -- and outside of it. We particularly encourage approaches that utilize less-common METS texts, that pair METS editions with digital tools, the use of METS in diverse classroom communities, and challenges posed by the Series, as well as proposed new ways forward.

The Past and Future of Digital Editions: A Session in Honor of Russell A. Peck Co-sponsors: Rossell Hope Robbins Library (University of Rochester) and TEAMS

Digital scholarship, digital editions, and digital training have increasingly been held up as a cornerstone of the future of medieval studies. However, hidden below the clamor for is an epidemic of technical debt, exhausted and overlooked practitioners, and unstable funding. This panel invites participants to chart the hidden labor and costs of digital editions, and to chart a more just and sustainable path forward. We welcome papers that explore the realities of digital edition projects across disciplines and professions, best practices and workflows, and visions of the future for creators, users, and communities. We particularly invite papers from practitioners.
