Digital Humanities at Berkeley recently awarded more than $200,000 in grants to UCB community members. The grants will promote collaborative research and the development of new DH courses.
14 research teams will be funded for projects that range from database development to algorithmic analytical tools.
The Digital Humanities Fellows Lecture Series begins on Friday, March 18th. The DH Fellows Lecture Series brings together the campus DH community for the scholarly presentation and informal discussion of specific aspects of digital humanities practice. Each meeting a different Fellow presents their ongoing work before the conversation is opened to hands-on experimentation in addition to questions, and comments. Intended to further the critical understanding and practice of the digital humanities at Berkeley, these lectures are intended for both existing and prospective DH practitioners.
Digital Humanities Fellow Nick Adams has announced a partnership with Hypothes.is and Crowdcrafting, to convert his Text Thresher prototype into an open source Annotator Content Analysis (ACA) module that can be integrated into other platforms.
