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.

    Only Seven Days Until NYCDH Week From Home!

    Can you believe it? This time next week we’ll all be eagerly participating
    in the kickoff event
    (nycdh.org)
    and
    preparing for sessions to start. We are excited to release the slate of
    workshops, demonstrations, and events
    (nycdh.org)
    and we can’t wait until NYCDH is brightening screens across the region,
    country and world.

    In place of a traditional keynote lecture, this year’s kickoff event will
    feature a roundtable titled “Finding, Cultivating, and Sustaining Support
    for Your DH Project.”

    Roundtable participants will include

    Jennifer Serventi – National Endowment for the Humanities
    – Moacir de Sá Pereira – Columbia University
    – Jim Groom – Reclaim Hosting
    – Jason Rhody – Social Science Research Council (SSRC)

    Katina Rogers – Independent Scholar

    As is tradition, following the introduction and kickoff roundtable we will
    be announcing the winners of our annual Graduate Student Awards with
    presentations by the winners, as NYCDH continues to support the next
    generation of scholars in the field.

    NYCDH Week 2022 will take place in a fully online format, while continuing
    to do what it has done for the past six years — bring together individuals
    across the region who are interested in digital humanities, offering them
    opportunities to learn new techniques and skills, to hear about DH projects
    from across the city, and to connect with a vibrant and diverse community
    of scholars and practitioners.

    We look forward to welcoming you soon and thanks to everyone for making
    NYCDH such a great community!
    Cheers,
    Kimon

  • Thanks Matt for posting up the info on NYCDH week!

    If you are planning on attending, the Commons In A Box OpenLab team is running a workshop at NYCDH Week – join us!

    Commons In A Box OpenLab (https://cboxopenlab.org/) is free, open source software that enables anyone to create a commons space specifically designed for open learning, where students, faculty, and staff can collaborate across disciplinary boundaries and share their work openly with one another and the world.

    The project brings together Commons In A Box, the software that powers NYCDH (CBOX, https://commonsinabox.org/, which is based on the CUNY Academic Commons), and City Tech’s OpenLab platform for teaching, learning, and collaboration (https://openlab.citytech.cuny.edu/). The result is a teaching-focused version of CBOX that provides a powerful and flexible alternative to closed, proprietary systems, and is already being adopted at CUNY and beyond.

    We will showcase CBOX OpenLab’s features and functionality, using examples from City Tech’s OpenLab and BMCC’s installation of the software (https://openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu/), then discuss how CBOX OpenLab can support open learning in your community.

    The workshop is 8am-10am on Thursday Feb 10, 2022 – sign up here: https://nycdh.org/dhweek/event/supporting-open-learning-with-commons-in-a-box-openlab/

    We hope to see some of you there!
