WELCOME TO NUDHL, The Northwestern University Digital Humanities Laboratory.
NUDHL fosters an interdisciplinary space for investigating the emerging role of digital humanities in faculty and student research, teaching, learning, public scholarship, civic engagement, and other relevant topics. Over the course of the academic year, the workshop will include discussions of recent scholarship in the field and presentations of research-in-progress by workshop participants. We seek to cultivate an ongoing conversation that helps members explore how to bring to bear the digital on their own research agendas.
The first meeting of NUDHL’s 2012-2013 Alice Kaplan Institute for the Humanities Research Workshop will be Friday, Oct. 5, from 12-2PM. We look forward to seeing you there as well as online at www.nudhl.net.
