Twelve faculty members, graduate students, and staff from UC Berkeley joined 600 colleagues from around the world for the 2014 Digital Humanities Summer Institute (DHSI) at the University of Victoria in British Columbia. While individual faculty members and students have attended DHSI in the past, this was the first year that Digital Humanities @ Berkeley acted as a co-sponsor of the event (through the generosity of the Office of the Dean of Arts and Humanities, and the D-Lab). This sponsorship allowed affiliated individuals to attend for free, or with reduced tuition costs.

This upcoming Fall 2014, Professor Nicolas Tackett, ACLS Digital Innovation Fellow, will lead a research seminar on digital approaches to history. This course is open to undergraduate and graduate students from all disciplines. This will be a fantastic opportunity to familiarize yourself with digital methodologies in history and other disciplines and incoporate digital approaches to your own research interests.
