Digital Humanities
Faculty
Program Director: Dr. Daniel Hutchinson
Program Mission
The Digital Humanities minor expands the core strengths of the humanities by integrating digital methods to approach history, literature, philosophy, theology, theatre, and art in innovative ways, and to reach broad audiences beyond the classroom. Some of those potential digital methodologies include: web design and publishing, computer programming, audio and video production, database and information management, geospatial analysis, crowdsourcing, source digitization, computational textual analysis, and network analysis. In learning about these methods, students will take courses in the humanities, computer science, and/or in digital media studies. The capstone of the minor is a practicum involving the design and implementation of an individual Digital Humanities project.
