Enhancing the Digital Humanities as Experiential Undergraduate Research

FAIN: AA-289908-23

Lycoming College (Williamsport, PA 17701-5100)
Andrew Bruce Leiter (Project Director: May 2022 to present)

A two-year project to build the college’s digital humanities capacity through undergraduate research about campus history.

Lycoming College will enhance its digital humanities capacity through a collaborative faculty- and student-researched digital history of the College. Serving as a pilot, this project will establish the procedural groundwork and technical platforms for future, expanded undergraduate digital humanities research and products. Administered through the College's newly launched Humanities Research Center, the project aims to present intellectually rich research opportunities that will simultaneously address our goals of expanded digital and experiential learning for students; faculty, pedagogical, and curriculum development; strengthened enrollment in humanities programs; and a publicly accessible digital commons for the sustained dissemination of humanities research.
