What DH is
‣ DH imagines new forms and methods of knowledge creation

‣ Humanistic scholarship enabled by digital methods and tools
‣ Humanistic scholarship about digital technology and culture
‣ Humanistic scholarship building and experimenting with
digital technology

What DH Shouldn’t Be
‣ Tools and Methods shouldn’t lead;
‣ Traditional practice s the choice of technologies;
‣ Offers an affordance but shouldn’t overly determine
motivation or approach.
Collaboration + Engagement
