Crowdsourcing is Dead - Long Live Citizen Humanities
When Jeremy Corbyn recently "crowdsourced" his Prime Ministers Questions ( Independent 13/9/2015 ) what he was really doing was engaging in a citizens movement. He wasn't doing that which the origins of crowdsourcing would suggest and I am certain he would be shocked at the Neoliberalist roots for crowdsourcing. So let's kill off crowdsourcing as a term of use in the humanities scholarship - let's use the term Citizen Humanities or maybe you have a better idea. Let's discuss!
