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.

Earth Day Edit-a-thon at the GC

  • Posted by Lisa Marie Rhody on April 25, 2017 at 3:55 pm

    Dear colleagues,

    The GC Digital Initiatives will be hosting an Earth Day Edit-a-thon. It is open to the public. Come for an hour or for all three and learn how to become a Wikipedia editor. See below for more information, and we hope to see you there!

    Best,
    Lisa

    When: Thursday, April 27th, 11AM – 2 PM

    Where: Science Center (The Graduate Center, CUNY, 4th floor)

    Who: Open to GC community and the public

    Participation is free, but an RSVP is appreciated.

    The GC Digital Initiatives is hosting a Wikipedia Edit-a-thon to celebrate Earth Day and to improve the quality of open access, free resources about environmental sciences and humanities.

    Earth Day is celebrated on April 22nd and people from all over the world are launching campaigns and promoting awareness about critical environmental issues. Our Wikipedia Edit-a-thon is designed to help create and improve Wikipedia’s environmental sciences and humanities content. As the largest and most popular general reference work on Internet, Wikipedia provides many people with their first contact with scientific information.

    During the Edit-a-thon, you will learn how to set up an account to edit content, learn how to create citations, and either begin connecting existing content to reliable sources or adding new content supported by citations.

    No previous experience is required. If you are interested in attending, please RSVP here.

    If you need accessibility accommodation to attend, contact us at  cuny.is/contactus.
