Project Start Date April 2021
Digital Humanities serves the MIT School of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences as an incubator for collaborative research and teaching initiatives that are vital to the school. We are a vibrant community developing digital tools and computational methods to enrich the humanities, arts, and social sciences.
The Digital Humanities Lab works with a cohort of 30-40 undergraduate research associates (UROPs) every semester. These students build their programming skills as they create new tools that address pressing questions in the humanities. In 2021-2022, UROPs will have the opportunity to work on sonification, visual analysis, machine learning, mapping, and more! UROPs connect with faculty, expert programmers, and fellow undergraduate researchers as they collaborate on creative solutions to interdisciplinary challenges.
