Digital Humanities Projects / Scholarship 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. This session surveys three digital humanities projects--two from other institutions and one from GGC--presenting the breadth of current work within the discipline. Faculty will learn about the challenges of DH research and scholarship by focusing on these projects. How did the creators take the project from idea to final product? What technological and institutional challenges did they face? How was the success of the work evaluated? Facilitator: Dr. Daniel Vollaro and Catherine Downey
