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.

  • Hi Cynthia, thanks so much for posting this. What did you guys think about it?

    A few of us were discussing it last night after the Siva/Anya talk. In general (if I’m not misrepresenting the conversation) the feeling was that it was a decent article, but we had some concerns about the “Humanities 2.0” formulation (annoying for non-digital humanists) and the framing of DH vs theory.

    Cool though that it stayed in the top-emailed list for a couple of days. Though the comments make some depressing reading – a variety pack of hostilities (directed at DH, the humanities, technology, the university…). This one’s my personal favorite:

    Some more news today: an international group of DHers just launched 4Humanities, a (much needed) site to help advocate for the humanities.
