A Short History of the Center for Digital Discourse and Culture
The Center for Digital Discourse and Culture occupies a theoretical and productive position that is somewhat different in terms of research centers. Our work centers on the pragmatics of research and scholarly production in the digital age. We place ourselves across many domains of research, but we perform infrastructurally as much as productively in support of that research. Throughout the years we have written software, archived materials, published non-print academic and artistic works, and generally pursued our agenda of promoting the digital discourse and culture throughout the academy. Centrally though, we provide the infrastructural base for research and teaching by providing free access to useful web resources. By that we mean that we that the resources that we provide freely on the internet are used by millions of people each year. Beyond that, these resources are well cited, the Center is cited in over 500 research publications from textbooks, to encyclopedia, to research papers. The Center is a part of the center of a cloud of scholarship, and in that cloud, we are have become the crucible through which scholars can pursue their own goals within their own communities. Our success, then, is not the success f just the people who work at the center, but the successes of the communities it serves, their growth, and their inventiveness in the digital arena.

Introduction
This group of critical, historical, and technical assessments of digital discourse and culture is assembled to commemorate the creation of Virginia Tech’s Center for Digital Discourse and Culture (CDDC) a decade ago. Organized in the College of Arts and Sciences, two college faculty members-Len Hatfield in the Department of English and Timothy W. Luke in the Department of Political Science-began operating the CDDC with Jeremy Hunsinger, who later pursued and completed his Doctorate in the Science and Technology Studies (STS) program. Hatfield was a co-founder of the Department of English’s Center for Applied Technology in the Humanities (CATH), and Luke was the author of a 1994 white paper for the College of Arts and Sciences calling for the creation of a new entity, namely, “Cyberschool,” at Virginia Tech to design, manage, organize, and then teach wholly online undergraduate and graduate courses by 1995.

Info-Citizens
Higher education and research institutes are funded through a variety of means. As one of the primary missions of higher education and research institutions is to perform research, the funding of research plays a part in the future of these institutions. As higher education in Europe is undergoing massive transformation in relation the European Union’s Bologna Process, so has the funding of research been centralized and reformed through the EU’s research frameworks programme. The ongoing transformations of the EU in the higher education and research arenas parallel the neoliberal transformations throughout the rest of the public sphere.
