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 2/8/11

  • Posted by Charlie Edwards on February 8, 2011 at 2:34 pm

    Just a reminder about our meeting tomorrow night – we hope to see you there. The announcement is below, feel free to pass it on to colleagues who might be interested.

    The CUNY Digital Humanities Initiative (CUNY DHI) will be holding its first meeting of the Spring semester on Wednesday, February 9th, from 6:30pm-8:30pm in Room 8301 at CUNY Graduate Center.

    Our theme for this semester is “DIY DH.” In this spirit, group members have volunteered to share their experiences using digital technologies in their classrooms and research. On the agenda: using off-the-shelf tools in Macaulay Honors College seminars, WordPress plugins for the paperless and networked classroom, Omeka and the Mina Rees library, and reports from recent THATCamps and the MLA Convention.

    It should be a lively and informative session, with plenty of opportunity for questions and discussion. We hope you can join us.
