Digital Humanities at Berkeley, a partnership between the Division of Arts & Humanities and Research IT, is pleased to announce grant awards for collaborative research projects and new courses. Projects range from d3 visualizations of archaeological diagrams to gesture-based music improvisation tools. Courses will challenge students to engage critically with the digital resources that surround them, such as Near Eastern studies databases and digital representations of liberation movements of the 1950s-70s. Students will gain hands-on experience working with tools such as R and Python for text analysis, and Twine and Undum for creating interactive works of electronic literature. View the list of funded projects on the DH at Berkeley blog. Research IT looks forward to supporting researchers through its digital humanities consulting service.
