Why Choose Digital Arts and Humanities?
Using new tools in computer mapping, content management, network analysis, text mining, social media and more, students and faculty publish findings in computer simulations, data visualizations, and other new formats that grant us new approaches to timeless questions. DAsH reaches out from the classroom to the public sphere, seeking out information on the Internet and in digitized sources, launching bold research agendas in and beyond the walls of the traditional college classroom.
