isol3 Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Anyone interested in DH? Where did you apply? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Historiogaffe Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 (edited) Simultaneous bump and reply. I'm very interested in DH and I'll be attending the University of Alberta. Its English department has some great DH courses and projects going on; one course involves learning XML in addition to the traditional research-and-write components. The prof teaching the course got his PhD at Penn State, so that might also be worth checking out. Edit: You might also check out the affiliations of the Invited Instructors and Speakers at the 2012 Digital Humanities Summer Institute: http://dhsi.org/bios.php — also filed under SO I WANT TO GO TO THIS. ...Ahem.

Stately Plump Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 (edited) I know UVa has some people who are really interested in DH. EDIT to add: DH will very likely play a huge role in all of our futures, in one way or another. If you end up at a school where there isn't that much DH activity going on, be responsible for starting it. Then put on your resumé that you started X DH project. <--- professionalization sunglasses Edited July 4, 2012 by Stately Plump Historiogaffe, cicada123, ktwho and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lyonessrampant Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 University of Minnesota has a really vibrant, interdisciplinary DH program. Michael Hansher (sp?) is one of the top people in the field, and he runs the program here. I don't know a lot about it, but we get emails about him and the program a lot!

Deadinthewater Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I know that, despite the university's shortcomings in other areas, Nebraska's DH program is 100% no-nonsense, and it is the flagship field within the English program. (They tell me that) They are ranked very high. For English-related digital humanities, Matt Jockers and Stephen Ramsay are your guys. That being said, I don't really care about digital humanities.

KendraSevilla Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Hi everyone! I was very happy to see that there is a thread here for DH. I have been thinking of applying to the University of Alberta's Digital Humanities MA because they offer a specialization with their languages and Cultures department, and my field of interest is Spanish literature and culture. Now the thing is, I get the impression that not a lot of people who are in the field of languages are in DH (except maybe people who do linguistics). At the UofA's program it looks like most people are in English, History, Classics, Film, and I just don't know if I will be a good "fit" and my application might get overlooked. Personally I am not concerned about possibly being an odd one out in a department, I just really want to learn about DH and try to integrate it with Spanish literature. My idea is to present a project that would look at using technology to teach lit classes in hopes that it would make the content more accessible for students and perhaps more interesting to work with.

literary_tourist Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I am interested in video games, but I am not sure if it is considered DH. It may actually depend on which branch of game studies one is looking at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want to agree with both of these points. The UofA has quite a strong, interdisciplinary DH community. DHSI is also great - I would definitely recommend it. The instructors are great, and it's a good place to network and meet potential supervisors, collaborators, committee members, peers, etc. Edited May 21, 2013 by Roquentin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egwynn Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 There are people at McGill and some of the UC schools. Stefan Sinclair (Voyant, TAPoR, Mandala, MONK) is at McGill and there were a lot of projects at UCSB when I visited (they seemed to have corresponding or collaborating projects in other UC programs).

TripWillis Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 (edited) CUNY Graduate Center I think has Matthew Gold. I also think their DH program goes between English and Urban Ed, for the most part. Edited May 22, 2013 by TripWillis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
