Digital Humanities Initiative

The CUNY Digital Humanities Initiative (CUNY DHI), launched in Fall 2010, aims to build connections and community among those at CUNY who are applying digital technologies to scholarship and pedagogy in the humanities. All are welcome: faculty, students, and technologists, experienced practitioners and beginning DHers, enthusiasts and skeptics.

We meet regularly on- and offline to explore key topics in the Digital Humanities, and share our work, questions, and concerns. See our blog for more information on upcoming events (it’s also where we present our group’s work to a wider audience). Help edit the CUNY Digital Humanities Resource Guide, our first group project. And, of course, join the conversation on the Forum.

    Description

    Join us at the Graduate Center on November 18 from 1-2 PM in the Skylight
    Room (room 9100) for an open, livestreamed discussion.

    This is the fourth of eight conversations as part of The University Worth
    Fighting For [
    http://futures.gc.cuny.edu/blog/2015/08/03/the-university-worth-fighting-for-2015-2016-events/%5D
    , a year-long project designed to tie student-centered, engaged practices
    in our classrooms to larger issues of institutional change, equality, race,
    gender, and all forms of social justice.

    The discussion on career paths and hiring practices will range from
    practical suggestions to higher-order questions, including thorny issues
    related to the casualization of academic labor, the size of PhD programs,
    and ways that expanding our expectations of career outcomes might affect
    the structure of graduate programs (as well as who has access to those
    programs and who sees them as worth the investment).

    Discussion leaders:

    Jade E. Davis, Associate Director, Digital Learning Projects,
    LaGuardia Community College
    Yaihara Fortis Santiago, Manager of Science Alliance, New York
    Academy of Sciences
    Alex Gil, Digital Scholarship Coordinator, Columbia University
    Libraries
    Katina Rogers, Deputy Director, The Futures Initiative

    Online Discussion Group

    To help build momentum and to provide a place to discuss related theory and
    research in greater depth, we also invite you to join this student-led
    reading group that will open on HASTAC. The discussion group will remain
    open for three weeks following the workshop.
