Kingfisher: Digital Humanities

Kingfisher Concentration - Digital Humanities requirements (9 Credits)

Program Director: Simon Appleford

he interdisciplinary Kingfisher Concentration in Digital Humanities explores the role and impact of digital technologies on our lives in the twenty-first century. Students will learn to evaluate, select, and use a wide-range of digital tools to communicate ideas and arguments to a variety of audiences and will become thoughtful and critical users of digital tools, technologies, and spaces. The Kingfisher Concentration is designed to be flexible to a student’s own interests and each student will have an opportunity to create full-scale digital projects on humanities and related topics that include history, literature, archaeology, communication studies, geospatial analysis, textual analysis, and more.

This Kingfisher Concentration has an associated minor that allows for continued study of these topics: Digital Humanities Minor
