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.

    Join us on the campus of Michigan State University to celebrate and
    explore the range of Digital Humanities Scholarship, Research, and
    Performance! We welcome sessions that address, exemplify, and
    interrogate the interdisciplinary nature of DH work. HASTAC 2015
    challenges participants to consider how the interplay of science,
    technology, social sciences, humanities, and arts are producing new
    forms of knowledge, disrupting older forms, challenging or reifying
    power relationships, among other possibilities. Themes addressed by the
    conference include:

    – the changing nature of humanities research and scholarship
    – indigenous culture, decolonial and post-colonial theory and technology
    – technology and education
    – ­open learning, peer learning, and issues of access, equity for
    primary and/or higher education
    – communication of knowledge, publishing, and intellectual property
    – digital cultural heritage and hegemony
    – crowd dynamics, global outreach, and social media
    – technology and social identity and roles: gender, race, and other
    identities
    – digital animation and other visualization media arts and sciences
    – games and gaming, including for learning
    – community development including the importance of art and culture
    districts
    – mobile technologies, activity streams, and experience design
    – cognitive and other dimensions of creativity, innovation, and
    scholarship

    (variations detailed below), maker sessions, workshops, exhibitions,
