Digital Humanities is a rapidly expanding field at the intersections of computing and disciplines of humanities and arts, library and information sciences, cultural studies, and media and communication studies.
During this session, Anne-Marie Armstrong and Julie Thompson Klein will map the field by tracing how it developed historically, highlighting key projects and sites. They will sample diverse viewpoints from the UCLA Mellon seminar on “What Is[n’t] Digital Humanities?” and the current forum on the “The Future of Digital Humanities” at the HASTAC website (Humanities, Arts, Science, and Technology Advanced Collaboratory). They will also offer resources for further reading and browsing.
Join us on Friday, February 27, to learn what’s happening around the country and to explore future possibilities for digital humanities at Wayne State. Light refreshments will be served.
