Supporting Digital Humanities: Does Your Institution Have Capacity?

Thursday, November 02 | 1:30PM–2:20PM ET | Meeting Room 113A, 100 Level
Session Type: Breakout Session
Delivery Format: Interactive Presentation
Does your institution have a robust infrastructure—a cohesive set of technologies, tools, and expertise—that supports digital humanities (DH) in research, teaching, and learning? A recent ECAR/CNI paper provides guidance for building capacity to support DH. Participants will gauge how their own institution measures up in selected areas.

Outcomes: Describe in what ways digital humanities programs differ at early, established, and high-capacity stages * Take specific actions to move a DH program to a higher level of institutional capacity * Identify existing and needed professional IT and library roles to support DH at an institution
