Digital Humanities in the Triangle

On top of the events, courses, and initiatives at Duke, there are numerous opportunities to engage with DH communities in the Triangle.

  • Carolina Digital Humanities Initiative: a multi-year NEH funded initiative, the CDHI offers opportunities for digital research and training at graduate, postdoctoral, and faculty levels.
  • CHAT Festival: The Collaborations in Humanities, Arts, Technology Festival (CHAT) is a bi-annual gathering of scholars, students, and digital media arts practitioners in the region. It is alternately hosted around the Triangle.

Many of these initiatives are coordinated among the Digital Humanities Collaborative of North Carolina, a collaboration among NC State, UNC, Duke, and the National Humanities Center. The group supports an array of shared events and resources in the region. Its core initiatives include: graduate training opportunities across institutions in the Triangle, including DH certificates and shared courses; guest speakers, seminars, and conferences in the region, from library workshops to THATCamps and the biannual CHAT Festival; and helping to connect researchers in the region as a clearinghouse for projects, contacts, and scholarly opportunities.
