Engaged Digital Humanities Group
The Engaged Digital Humanities Working Group, supported by the Department of English, is a group of twelve members including PhD students, faculty, and librarians who focus on research, methodologies, and pedagogies of digital scholarship. We have particular interest in practicing digital humanities as a mode of research that shapes – and is shaped by – social justice, public humanities, community engagement, ethnic studies, intersectional feminism, and de- and post-coloniality.
