YALE DIGITAL HUMANITIES LAB
dhlab.yale.edu
The 2015 founding of the Yale Digital Humanities Laboratory (DHLab) signifies the University’s continued commitment to cutting-edge research and teaching in the humanities. Offering space, community, and resources for Yale faculty and students who are working with digital methods to address humanistic inquiries, the DHLab functions as a hub on the Yale campus for sustained digital humanities conversations and research. Staff are available to help at any stage in a project, from conceptualization to implementation. Visit the DHLab during Office Hours (Tuesdays, 2–3:30 pm) to chat over coffee about all things digital humanities. Office Hours provide a weekly opportunity to exchange ideas, discuss methods, and form connections with colleagues from different programs and departments.
YALE STEAM
steamwith.us/ YaleSTEAM.html
Yale STEAM is a chapter of STEAM, a larger academic ideology that sees all disciplines of the arts (fine arts, digital arts, performance arts, and liberal arts) as an inseparable facet of the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields. As one of the STEAM chapters, we hope to foster a campus wide interest and appreciation of the intersection between STEM and the arts through a series of workshops, forums, discussions, tours, and talks utilizing spaces around Yale where the arts and sciences intersect. Such events exist to provide a platform, resource base, and discussion group for interdisciplinary thinking and project events related to the arts and sciences. We encourage students from all disciplines across the STEM and arts spectrum as well as those in humanities to join us!
