Digital Humanities Reading & Research Cluster

The Digital Humanities Reading & Research Cluster brings together graduate students from across the humanities and information science to explore how digital tools can support humanistic research. The cluster's activities are structured around three objectives. First, to keep participants engaged with current developments in digital humanities by reading and discussing both foundational texts and recent scholarship on digital methods, computational analysis, and the ethical dimensions of DH work. Second, to build practical skills through hands-on workshops led by UW community members and invited scholars who actively use digital methods in their research. And third, to explore DH as a research tool by applying digital approaches to participants' own projects and receiving constructive feedback from peers and mentors. The goal is to build an interdisciplinary community where students can learn practical skills, share resources, and engage with digital humanities in meaningful, accessible ways.
