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.

    More and more of our academic services are being outsourced to tech companies. Our research, classroom management, and even test proctoring are being done on electronic, third-party platforms. The companies that schools buy these services from are getting into the data analytics business, selling personal data dossiers and other predictive and prescriptive data products. In this talk, we\’ll take a look at the new data analytics business models and consider how these products impact our privacy.

    Sarah Lamdan is a Professor of Law at the CUNY School of Law. She specializes in government information access and transparency, and especially issues related to environmental law and environmental information access.
