An interdisciplinary project involving faculty, staff and graduate students is sparking collaborations among those interested in computational, digital and data-driven approaches to the study of history, languages and culture.
The Digital Humanities Initiative (DHI), begun in 2024, includes faculty from the College of Arts & Sciences, the Ann S. Bowers College of Computing and Information Science and Digital Scholarship Services at the Cornell University Library and is part of the Provost's CIVIC Initiative.
"Cornell has a huge amount of teaching and research happening in areas related to digital humanities," said Matthew Wilkens, associate professor of information science and a faculty member in the initiative. "The intuition behind the DHI is that bringing those disparate projects together, even just by sharing experiences and results, will help all of them be their best outcomes. We'll know we're succeeding if we see more, and more deeply collaborative, work in the area over the next few years."
