Kenyon College Digital Humanities Details
Digital humanities at Kenyon encompasses a dual lens. On the one hand, we empower our next generation of thinkers with the conceptual framework underlying our Age of Information — from dataism and algorithmic thinking to synthetic biology and artificial intelligence. Our unique approach to computational thinking positions students to engage with the many practical, theoretical and ethical issues surrounding technological innovation and social change.At the same time, digital humanities at Kenyon explores the most recent computational approaches as a way to augment — rather than replace — more traditional humanist inquiry. Students today can imagine and pursue new avenues of research by identifying unexplored datasets of text, image, and sound, while embracing new computational frameworks that are increasingly powerful and easy to use. Central to our mission is a focus on finding interdisciplinary solutions to the challenges facing us today.
