In five-minute lightning talks, UB faculty from the humanities, social sciences, arts, and engineering will present their digital work to a diverse audience ranging from those familiar with digital methods to those who want a basic introduction to the possibilities opened by digital scholarship. Followed by a panel Q&A and discussion of the state of UB’s digital scholarship and how best to support its future.

Digital Scholarship Week

“Digital humanities” and “digital scholarship” are increasingly frequent watchwords among the academic avant-garde, but do these tools radically change what scholars can do? Digital Scholarship Week will offer seven days of events to explore this question with programing for two distinct groups on the UB campus. The week will provide an introduction for faculty and students curious about how digital methods could enrich their scholarship, and it will bring together scholars already engaged in digital scholarship to introduce their work to the UB academic community and to exchange methods and ideas. Together, this week will offer UB faculty and graduate students the chance to delve into key trends in digital scholarship.

Digital Scholarship Week is presented by the Committee on Digital Scholarship and Cultures (DiSC) and the Humanities Institute with support from the Office of the Vice President for Research and Economic Development and the College of Arts and Sciences.
