Digital Humanities

DH students receive a multidisciplinary education from award-winning and grant-funded faculty from colleges throughout the university. Thus, students join a new generation of professionals who are both humanistically and digitally savvy.

The goals of the DH program include:

• Applying technical and critical thinking skills to conduct digital projects that bridge the humanities and other disciplines;
• Applying theoretical frameworks and research techniques to interpret the key issues raised by the digital humanities;
• Applying, analyzing, and creating knowledge around problems in digital humanities interdisciplinary studies;
• Analyzing the impact of digital technologies on humanities research methods and approaches;
• Fostering collaborations among faculty, staff, and students; and
• Diffusing DH methods and tools into the teaching and research communities at Marshall University and beyond.
