The development of a new minor that integrates digital data and analysis
into humanities courses, along with a series of faculty workshops in digital
humanities.
William Paterson University (WP), an eligible Hispanic- and Minority-Serving public institution in Wayne, New Jersey proposes a humanities initiative to create a new minor in data storytelling that will teach students to not only critically consume, evaluate, and interpret data, but also use it to communicate ideas, tell stories, and create new knowledge. Grant funds will support the development, implementation, and evaluation of the new minor over three years. The proposed project includes (1) two cohorts of a one-year professional development program for faculty interested in teaching in the minor; (2) revision and creation of 16 elective courses for the minor; (3) four technology-for-the-humanities workshops open to all members of the WP community to prepare faculty to integrate data technologies into the humanities classroom; and (4) initial piloting of eight of the new and revised elective courses.
