About the Digital Health Humanities Program
The Digital Health Humanities Program, established in 2023, provides research assistance for scholars who employ digital methods, use archival datasets, or engage in humanistic inquiry in their scholarship. The program recently hosted an in-person practicum for the Advancing Digital Health Humanities Institute, inviting 11 scholars from across the nation to learn about digital methods and applying them to health humanities research.
If you have questions about the consultations or are unsure if your research applies, please contact the digital health humanities program coordinator.
