Where does the digital humanities fit in today's research university? What changes need to be made by the faculty, libraries, and administration to accommodate recent digital innovations? Can the rise of digital tools and methods help to foster traditional fields of research? Who are the critics of digital humanities, and how might their objections be addressed? Join us for public presentations by three leaders of the digital revolution in humanistic disciplines.
