What are the Digital Humanities? What are They Doing in the Liberal Arts and at Bethel?

Kent Gerber, Bethel University Digital Library Manager will discuss this vigorously debated topic that involves applying computing technologies towards arts and humanities projects and the study and critique of digital technologies using the methods of the humanities. To help make sense of this broad concept and encourage discussion Kent will present definitions, a brief history, examples of digital humanities projects and tools, and the communities of practice that already exist in higher education institutions, including Bethel.
