Digital Humanities Learning Community

The Digital Humanities Learning Community was an academic year-long community that created opportunities for EMU instructors to explore the theory and practice of leveraging the digital humanities within their own classrooms. A small group of dedicated instructors learned various approaches and benefits to incorporating the digital humanities in courses; learned from leading experts in the field; practiced with different tools and interfaces; and designed a potential project for their own classroom. Participants in collaboration with the facilitators sought out compelling ways to blend research and practice by designing digital humanities projects within their courses, thus creating unique and meaningful opportunities for students to engage in publicly accessible research. Faculty that completed this learning community received an honorarium of $325 at the end of the school year.

For examples of past digital history projects that the facilitators have been part of, you can visit Rise Up Detroit and the New York City Civil Rights History Project.
