Digital Humanities Research at MSU
Digital Humanities takes many forms and operates in various places around MSU’s campus (see our places page). DH@MSU supports this work by providing funding for projects and professional development, offering consultations, and creating opportunities to share with the community. We take pride in the diversity and interdisciplinarity of the DH@MSU community and invite you to learn more about its work.
DH research encompasses a wide range of approaches, including digital archival projects, network analysis, text analysis, image analysis, and many more! Here, we share a selection of projects created by members of our community. You can also browse projects from the past.
