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.

Announcement by Charlie Edwards on 11/17/10

  • Posted by Charlie Edwards on November 17, 2010 at 2:28 am

    Just another reminder about our meeting tomorrow, Wednesday November 17, at 7pm in the Skylight Room (9th floor at the Graduate Center).

    We’ll be joining the Digital Studies Group to hear Prof. Eben Moglen of Columbia University Law School. He’ll be discussing questions of intellectual property and 21st century digital technologies, given an IP system based on industrial forms and legal structures.

    Moglen is a powerful speaker, and it’s pretty spectacular that Steve Brier and Chris Sula, organizers of the DSG, were able to get him here, so please come along.

    You may have heard about his talk given earlier this year at NYU, “Freedom and the Cloud” ( you can see it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOEMv0S8AcA ) which inspired a group of students to create Diaspora, “the privacy aware, personally controlled, do-it-all, open source social network.”

    Steve and Chris ask us to read Moglen’s “The dotCommunist Manifesto,” which is at http://emoglen.law.columbia.edu/my_pubs/dcm.html and is short!

    And just in case anyone didn't see it, here's a link to today's article on the Digital Humanities in the NY Times! The first in a series, apparently (and quotes Tom Scheinfeldt, who's coming to speak to us on December 1st).
