On Friday, November 7th, the HyperStudio held the first of a series of workshops on scholarly, educational, and institutional aspects of Digital Humanities (+ Arts and Social Sciences).
The Workshop was introduced by Deborah Fitzgerald, Kenan Sahin Dean of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences and Kurt Fendt, Director of the HyperStudio. The keynote speaker was Elli Mylonas who leads the Scholarly Technology Group at Brown University. Her areas of expertise are digital humanities, hypertext, and electronic text.

The Workshop also provided first-hand experience with digital projects by some of our SHASS colleagues: Jeffery Ravel, John Tirman, Pete Donaldson, and Gilberte Furstenberg. There were very interesting discussions about the challenges of the emerging field of Digital Humanities.
