Introduction to the Digital Humanities Description: The new GGC Digital Humanities Lab is proud to announce a three-part introductory workshop on the Digital Humanities (DH). Presented in partnership with the GGC's Center for Teaching Excellence, the sessions will provide an entry point into this exciting discipline that is changing the way humanists teach, conduct research, and publish their work. The workshops will introduce faculty to the origins, history, and fundamental principles of DH; survey projects and scholarship that are characteristic of the discipline; and provide a structure for integrating DH into a variety of courses. In this session, faculty will learn the origins, evolution, and current status of the digital humanities as a discipline of study. How is the work of a digital humanist different from traditional scholarship? What are the current debates in the field? How is the field defined within academia? We will explore these questions. Facilitator: Dr. Daniel Vollaro and Catherine Downey
