About the Digital Humanities Working Group

The UC Berkeley Digital Humanities Working Group is a research community founded to facilitate interdisciplinary conversations in the digital humanities and cultural analytics. Our gatherings are participant driven and provide a place for sharing research ideas (including brainstorming new ideas and receiving feedback from others), learning about the intersection of computational methods and humanistic inquiry, and connecting with others working in this space at Berkeley.

We welcome grad students, faculty, and staff from all disciplinary backgrounds regardless of whether you are a beginner or an expert in empirical and data-driven methods. Working group meetings may include participants sharing work on current or future research, open discussions about theoretical, methodological or other challenges (e.g., data collection), invited speakers, and social mixers. Research at any stage of development (including nascent) is welcome for discussion.

The Digital Humanities Working Group is led by Tim Tangherlini (Department of Scandinavian) and David Bamman (School of Information), and sponsored by D-Lab: Claudia von Vacano, Aaron Culich, Finley Golightly, and the UTech staff.

Location: Hybrid in-person in the D-Lab Collaboratory, 356 Social Sciences Building (3rd floor), or join us via Zoom!
