For the past five years I directed (and co-directed, with Joanna Brooks) the Digital Humanities Initiative at SDSU: dh.sdsu.edu

I am very pleased to hand over the reigns to Dr. Pam Lach (our Digital Humanities Librarian) and Dr. Angel David Nieves (our DH Historian) in Fall 2019.

We were awarded the prestigious honor of becoming an Area of Excellence, which meant that we were able to hire 5 new faculty in our research cluster, “Digital Humanities and Global Diversity.” We opened our new Digital Humanities Center in Spring 2018.

We are building smartly and strategically. Our strategy is to cultivate grassroots, ground-up expertise as an alternative to a top-down model of hiring experts and funding single projects. We are proceeding by inspiring our faculty and students as well as by leading the formation of a regional cross-institutional network to support digital humanities in San Diego. We are committed to building a community that advocates for the humanities in and for our digital age. Follow us:
