Purdue University students who take social science or humanities courses will learn more from digital scholarship concepts and ideas incorporated into these courses in the coming months and years.<\/p>\n

Thanks to Purdue University Libraries and School of Information Studies Assistant Professor of Digital Humanities Matt Hannah<\/a>, Professor of English and African-American Studies Venetria Patton<\/a>, and the Integrative Data Science Initiative<\/a> (IDSI) at Purdue, College of Liberal Arts faculty\u2014who have had a desire to redesign an existing humanities or social science course to include digital scholarship\u2014have been awarded small seed grants via Hannah\u2019s and Patton\u2019s \u201cEngaging in the Digital Humanities\u201d IDSI project.<\/p>\n

According to Hannah, most of the faculty will work closely with him to strategize and implement key changes in an effort to expand digital scholarship into new arenas. In addition to the several faculty members who were awarded seed grants, Hannah was able to fund five graduate students working in some area of digital scholarship to attend conferences and present original work.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was delighted by the range and scope of the proposals,\u201d Hannah said. \u201cI am excited about the future of Digital Humanities at Purdue.\u201d<\/p>\n
