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.

This Friday 2/10 – Keywords for American Cultural Studies – Bruce Burgett & Glenn Hendler

  • Posted by Charlie Edwards on February 8, 2012 at 11:38 am

    Hi all,

    This Friday sees two great events sponsored by the Revolutionizing American Studies Seminar (http://centerforthehumanities.org/seminars/revolutionizing-american-studies). Hope to see you there!

    Here’s the announcement:

    Please join us this Friday, February 10th for two events exploring the work of Bruce Burgett and Glenn Hendler, editors of Keywords for American Cultural Studies .

    First, from 12:30-2:00 (in Room 8201.01) Professors Burgett and Hendler will be conducting a seminar exploring the relationship between Keywords and digital pedagogy. In preparation for this workshop, we ask that participants read their introduction to the Keywords volume and two keyword entries from the collection on “Sex” and “Society” (the readings are attached as pdfs below). Also, to get a sense of how the volume has been used in classrooms across the country please also take some time to explore the Keywords website (http://keywords.fordhamitac.org/) and the Collaboratory (http://bit.ly/s7n0e5), terrific archives of the impact the collection has already had on a range of courses.

    At 4pm, in Room 4406, and co-sponsored with the PhD Program in English and the Certificate Program in American Studies, Professors Burgett and Hendler will be offering a lecture on the Keywords project. (Please see the full description at
