The interdisciplinary field of digital humanities (DH) aims to bring together humanistic inquiry and digital technologies, organizing new modes of archival research, developing computer-aided methodologies for answering humanistic questions, curating digitized archives of all kinds, bringing digital platforms into the classroom in creative ways, and engaging critically with the culture of new media.
Join the MSU Digital Humanities Program for our second annual DH Research Showcase in the MSU Main Library, Digital Scholarship Lab, Flex Space (2nd Floor, West), where recipients of DH summer funding will discuss their projects, and where we invite all faculty, staff and students working on DH projects to share their projects in process.
Faculty, staff, graduate students, and undergraduate students are encouraged to propose short talks (5 minutes) presenting works in progress, experiments, as well as completed work that bring together humanistic inquiry and digital technology.
Possible themes for projects include:
- digital mediation of humanistic scholarship (e.g. projects with websites, databases, or apps)
- digitization of cultural archives
- development of digitally-based tools or techniques
- scholarly communication topics, including open access, digital publishing, and data management
- digital pedagogies in the humanities
- computational methodologies
- analyses of the role of the digital in humanities teaching or scholarship
- the humanities and social media (in the classroom, among
researchers, in public) - digital workflows for humanities research and writing
- digital arts, architecture, music, film, theatre, new media, and games
- physical computing, minimal computing, applied to humanities research
- … which is to say, anything drawing substantive connections between humanistic questions and digital technologies
