2-5pm, Meeting Rooms and Dates specified below.

Through dialogues with expert guest interlocutors and practitioners from various fields, seminar participants will examine, historicize, and critique the emergent field of "digital humanities." Bringing together insights from media, game, literary and cultural studies, we will attempt to take stock of humanistic inquiry at the start of the 21st century.

This year’s seminar is co-organized by Jeffrey Schnapp (Stanford University, Stanford Humanities Laboratory, and Mellon Visiting Professor of Digital Humanities, UCLA) and Todd Presner (Germanic Languages and Comparative Literature, UCLA). The monthly seminars are open to graduate students, faculty, and the general public. Participants outside of UCLA can also join us at Entropia, on the Digital Library Federation island, in Second Life. Graduate students may take the seminar for 2 units of course credit perquarter (COMP LIT 597; the class ID is: 556944221), but enrollment is not required for participation. Individual meetings of the seminar will be announced on this page, via the UCLA Digital Humanities Facebook Group, and in Second Life.
