Investigating the human dimension of new technologies
The intersection between technology and the humanities is rich and fertile territory, and the Humanities Center fosters work in this area in a connected range of ways. The value of new technology for humanities research is the focus of those working in both digital pedagogy and digital humanities, with faculty and students utilizing our purpose-built Digital Humanities Studio to pursue vibrant and cutting-edge projects.
While technology in this manner can illuminate the traditional work of the humanities, new technologies in turn pose a set of unique and challenging problems that can be illuminatingly probed by the humanities and allied disciplines. The Humanities Center's work in critical technology studies and in the exploration of artificial intelligence investigate these matters of urgent and contemporary concern.
