Digital Humanities

Digital Humanities

The UCD College of Arts and Humanities is home to a community of scholars whose work with digital collections, spaces, and tools has garnered international recognition. The digital humanities research strand brings together researchers working across a wide range of disciplines, methodologies and theoretical perspectives, in order to facilitate dialogue, knowledge-sharing and resource development. Humanities research is uniquely poised to contribute to emerging conversations on the ethical and social implications of our digital present, taking place both within and beyond the university. 

Within the term digital humanities, we recognise a broad range of scholarly activities, including but not limited to the analysis of digital cultures and digital media, the application of cultural analytics methods, and the construction of data-rich cultural histories. In addition to foregrounding established and ongoing work in these areas by our colleagues within the College of Arts and Humanities, the strand also provides spaces for engagement with digital pedagogy, data storage and preservation, and ethical policies and practices within the field.
