Session 4: Who and How? Institutional Responses to Digital Humanities

The potential offered by projects discussed in the preceding sessions has drawn the attention of both research agencies and institutions. Term 1 will close by examining how the academy is responding formally in institutional policies and discussions to the practical challenges presented digital pursuits. This topic (as the last in the series on the broad state of Digital Humanities) will also serve as the foundation for the second term‟s engagement with the more conceptual and theoretical challenges posed by digital scholarship.
