What Is Digital Humanities?

We take a broad, critical, and inclusive approach to digital humanities, understanding it to be interdisciplinary humanities research, teaching, learning, and publishing, that can be presented in digital form(s), enabled by digital methods and tools, about digital technology and culture, experimenting with and developing digital technologies, critical of its own digital-ness, and employing a pedagogy of collaboration and participation.
