Digital Humanities
Digital Humanities Research at Newcastle University
There is a wealth of valuable research at the intersection of the Digital world and the Humanities happening at Newcastle University: from research making practical use of digital methodologies, to digital perspectives, approaches and the study of digital cultures themselves.
Research in the (very broadly defined) field of Digital Humanities at Newcastle University is distinguished by its variety: researchers are working in areas as diverse as scholarly digital editing, digital cultural heritage, digital art, human-computer interaction, and the relationship between the Humanities and Artificial Intelligence. This diverse portfolio of research interests is constantly expanding, and so too is our membership thanks to our many initiatives.
Digital Humanities at Newcastle University is interdisciplinary, collaborative and inclusive. It brings together fields as diverse as literary studies and law, and history and geography, to work alongside biomedicine, computer and data science. We support and contribute to Animating Text Newcastle University, the Centre for Data, and Digital Institute, and we align with the National Innovation Centre for Data (NIC-D), Creative Fuse North East, Open Lab, N8 CIR, and The Alan Turing Institute.
Along with the support for ongoing research, the Digital Humanities community at Newcastle promotes regular events (e.g. workshops, visiting speakers), raising awareness of the work in related disciplines and helping researchers stay connected to each other, fostering collaboration and curiosity.
