Description
At this session, we will address the conference theme of "interdisciplinary goals and conversations in digital humanities" by reviewing the efforts underway since 2015 to build a campus-wide Digital Humanities community at the University of North Florida. Clayton McCarl, interim chair of the UNF Digital Humanities Initiative, will explain how the group was formed, describe our current structure, and briefly describe our plans for the future. Laura Heffernan, chair of the DHI's curriculum committee, will describe the creation and implementation of our new minor in Digital Humanities (effective Fall 2017). Deb Miller, director, Center for Instruction & Research Technology (CIRT), will report on our other major achievement to date, our annual Digital Projects Showcase, and will discuss the role that CIRT plays in supporting the DHI and its projects. Anne Pfister will consider the emphasis that the DHI places on involving undergraduate students in hands-on research, both within and beyond the classroom. Students Kathlina Brady, Aislinn Kelly, and Julia Rivera-Whalen will then discuss their work on DHI affiliate projects.
