We don’t have a ‘digital humanities’ prog where we come from though we do have big players in this area who are part of more traditional programs. I am offering an undergrad class in media archaeology next year and this is where I plan to mold my interest in history of science, history of the book and history of media, exploring digitality beyond the present. I am still figuring how to do it in a way that will be interesting yet intellectually challenging.

I wonder if we could fold into a conversation like this another, very practical, question I have. It’s been suggested to me that I take a survey of the DH infrastructure available at my institution to facilitate networking across disciplines and increase support for different graduate students engaged in DH-type work, and I’d be interested in help strategizing how such a task might be undertaken efficiently and usefully.
