This event was prompted by the publication of Mona Oraby’s co-authored graphic nonfiction book, A Universe of Terms: Religion in Visual Metaphor, which is based on a project first convened on The Immanent Frame. Using A Universe of Terms as a point of departure, Kaiama L. Glover and Mona Oraby discussed the boundaries of research, including the expected products of scholarship, and the role of the digital humanities in bridging public-facing work with specialist interests. Glover and Oraby, both long-time editors of born-digital projects, reflected on how editorial experiences shape their scholarly praxis.
