The Miami Digital Humanities Forum: Miami DH Forum Home

The Miami Digital Humanities Forum

The Miami University Digital Humanities Forum brings together members of the Miami community to share perspectives and build community around the digital humanities. Co-sponsored by the Miami University Libraries and the Humanities Center, the forum features a wide range of digital approaches to the questions traditionally associated with inquiry in the humanities. Conceived as annual events, these forums welcome presentations linked to both research and instruction, as well as presentations that challenge or critically consider the field and practice of digital humanities.

The 2022 Miami DH forum was held on April 7, 2022. You can view information about presentation and selected presentation recordings at this link. Information and presentations from the 2020 DH Forum can be viewed at this link.

We welcome questions and suggestions regarding future Miami DH Forums, and feedback on our past events. Please contact Mark Dahlquist or Katie Gibson.

Like the humanities, digital humanities can be challenging to define. At the Miami Libraries, we understand DH broadly, to include a wide variety of practices in which digital technologies facilitate research or learning in the humanities. These include, for example, computational analysis of cultural forms such as texts, images, or music, as well as teaching methods that leverage digital tools to provide new ways for learners to engage with questions or materials associated with human culture and values. We regard critical discourse surrounding digital humanities and the social function of digital technologies as not only within the scope of digital humanities, but as essential to its ethical practice.

Here at Miami, the Libraries work to provide access to digital humanities services and tools, and serve as a point of connection between students and faculty members who are engaged in digital humanities research.
