In recent years the application of digital tools and methods thought through critical humanities and societal perspectives comprises what is collectively referred to as Digital Humanities (DH). Digital Humanities is an area of scholarly activity at the intersection of computing or digital technologies and disciplines of the arts, humanities and social sciences. It includes the systematic use of digital resources in the humanities, as well as the analysis of their application. DH is based on interdisciplinary collaboration and a willingness to work across disciplinary, institutional as well as national boundaries.
The Center for Digital Humanities and Social Sciences at Uppsala University (CDHU) leads and curates the digital transformation of the humanities and social sciences at the university.
CDHU's assignments are threefold:
1) research-initiating activities (seminars, workshops and major events) as well as support for individual projects and applications
2) pedagogy and knowledge exchange, including initiating, developing and supporting education in Digital Humanities and Social Sciences from master's level to doctoral researchers; and
3) the development of a technical infrastructure to support research in the field of Digital Humanities. CDHU is currently governed by a director and supported by a deputy director and a research coordinator. The operation is supported by a steering board that spans distinguished professors across the disciplinary domains of Humanities and Social Sciences.
