Digital Initiatives

The Stanford Humanities Center's Digital initiatives touch each of the Center's core programs: Fellowships, Research Workshops and Events. The overall goal is to make the best use of information technology in the service of humanities research. Some initiatives offer research scholars opportunities to use new technologies for experimentation and collaboration. Others foster discussion and debate about new technologies and the effective uses and usefulness of those technologies in the Academy and particularly within the Humanities.
