Funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the project begins in fall 2014
and ends in June 2018. The project is designed to increase teaching and
scholarship in the digital humanities (DH), with a focus on integrating DH
into the central academic enterprise of the university while also taking
advantage of opportunities to expose digital scholars to contexts that lie
outside the academy. The project will address a broad spectrum of
constituents, including faculty, postdocs, graduate students, and
undergraduates. The project is also intended to foster working partnerships
with a broad range of UC Berkeley entities, including the School of
Information (I School), the University Library, the Berkeley Center for New
Media (BCNM), the D-Lab, the University museums, the Berkeley Institute for
Data Science (BIDS).
The project director, who will report to the Dean of Arts and Humanities,
will be responsible for all logistics, budget management and reporting, and
supervision of student workers and graduate assistants associated with the
program, including but not limited to:
- Managing the $2M program budget, including the preparation of required
reports to the Foundation and to the Dean of Arts and Humanities;
- Supervising work-study student assistants, graduate student researchers,
and teaching assistants involved in the program;
- Organizing seminars and workshops, including assisting faculty,
supervising graduate student researchers, and scheduling guest speakers;
- Producing intensive summer DH workshops involving visitors from multiple
