“Digital Scholarship: An Introduction for the Curious”

(Faculty Only)

RSVP (huminst@buffalo.edu) by Friday, Feb. 26 to get your spot in one of two working sessions led by Micki McGee of Fordham University. These workshops will help UB faculty and graduate students learn how their own research fits within larger trends of digital scholarship, with an emphasis on digital humanities. Sessions are limited to 20 participants on a first come, first served basis. The Wednesday workshop is for faculty only; Thursday is open to both faculty and graduate students. Sessions will be oriented to those new to the field who are contemplating adding a digital dimension to their research.

A pioneer of advanced digital technologies for humanities scholarship, Micki McGee is the author of Self-Help, Inc. and the editor of Yaddo: Making American Culture.

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.
