Ask a question - do the research - see a pattern - summarize the evidence - tell a new story or add an original ending to a familiar one. Will new media take scholarship in a different direction and are scholars prepared to blaze a new trail? This session will pull together threads from examples and conversations on the topic of new scholarship. Are we ready to work with scholars on opportunities and challenges so they don't have to go it alone?
