Welcome to the Digital Liberal Arts Research Initiative! 

We provide resources for digitally inflected, collaborative research projects and teaching in the liberal arts, as well as regular trai­ning sessions in digital tools and methods. Our goal is to enrich pedagogy and research by providing instructors at any level with support with digital projects that, at the same time, give their undergraduate and graduate students experience with a critical use of technology.

The digital projects we support range from the recuperation of histories of silenced voices through digitization projects of local issues, to the computational analysis of (textual) data, and the presentation of information in engaging formats. More often than not, however, our projects mix a bit of those three activities to create insightful and engaging research outcomes.

With the support of Digital Research and Instructional Designers, the DLA community comprises faculty, staff, librarians, graduate students, and other practitioners from across the institution, particularly from the University Libraries, the Center for Black Digital Research, and College of the Liberal Arts.
