Digital Humanities
What?
Digital Humanities is the critical study of how the technologies and techniques associated with the digital medium intersect with and alter humanities scholarship and scholarly communication.—Julia Flanders
All the ways that the humanities and digital technologies intersect.—Rebecca Davis
Sixty years ago, the field called “humanities computing” made its debut with the appearance of Father Roberto Busa’s Index Thomisticus, a computer-compiled concordance to the works of Thomas Aquinas (Adams and Gunn).
A not-so-new “community of practice”
DH vs. DP

• Can apply across divisions
• Focus on a reflective teaching practice
• MOOCs/DOOCs
Digital Humanities• Deals with Humanities,
except…• Doesn’t have to deal
with teaching, per se• Asks students to think
about how the tools change the questions they’re asking
