Foundations in DH Project Development - Graduate Studies

The goal of Foundations in DH Project Development is to teach graduate students in Art History, methods to plan, develop and execute a Digital Humanities research project.

Graduate students across the humanities are trained to critically evaluate earlier scholarship and produce critical scholarship of their own. They are rarely (never) trained in managing the project that will produce their critical scholarship. This UH certificate program hopes to better prepare the emerging professional in the Humanities. The goal of Foundations in DH Project Development is to teach researchers successful methods to produce a planning grant proposal for a UH Internal Award or an external planning grant to develop and execute their research project.

Topics covered include planning your idea, plan development, understanding data, strategizing asset management, learning and applying elements to a project that incorporate universal design, and proposal design.

Foundations in DH Project Development - Undergraduate Studies

The purpose of the Micro-credential in the Digital Humanities program is to introduce students to the concepts and competencies that are core to DH work, preparing students to plan and implement their own project or participate in an ongoing DH research project.

This program is available to active University of Houston undergraduate students interested in research or with an idea that incorporates an element of digital scholarship.

Students who complete the Micro-credential in the Digital Humanities badges gain access to the full range of services and infrastructure offered by the Digital Humanities Core facility and become part of growing cohorts supported by HPE DSI and UH Libraries, aimed at nurturing new research and scholarship.
