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.

    The University of Tomorrow

    May 9, 2018

    6:30 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.
    Followed by a networking reception

    Who:
    * Prof. Dr. Margret Wintermantel, President, German Academic Exchange
    Service (DAAD)

    What to expect:
    Digital technologies are disrupting all areas of modern life, from the way
    we create and distribute products, the way we analyze and regulate traffic,
    to the way we socialize and interact with one another. The factory of
    tomorrow has already been designed, as has the city of the future. But what
    about the way we conduct research and train students, scientists, and the
    workforce of the future? What about higher education? This panel discussion
    will address how institutions of higher education in the US and Germany are
    changing in the digital age. How do they meet the demands of a new
    generation of scholars and scientists and how do they adapt to disruptive
    technologies such as blockchain and cloud computing? How can new models of
    public-private partnership assist in making these transitions?

    To attend the panel, please RSVP by May 7:

    Location: 871 United Nations Plaza, New York, NY 10017
