the place

At Otago, digital humanities is about studying digital technologies along with the art and culture they cultivate. It’s about utilising digital methods and practices in research and teaching. And it’s about reflecting critically on the impacts of those technologies and practices each step of the way.

What is the Digital Humanities Hub?

The Digital Humanities (DH) Hub – Te Pokapū Matihiko o Te Kete Aronui, is a shared Humanities Division resource, open to staff and students.

Where is the DH hub located?

It is located in room 1.C.10, on the first floor of the Arts Building on the Dunedin campus at the University of Otago.

The DH Hub is home to our:

  • Creative Media suite – Taiwhanga Pāpāho Auaha and
  • Linguistics Lab – Taiwhanga Mātai Wetereo

We also share our space with the Otago Centre for the Book headquarters. You can check out their blog or contact the current Director Paul Tankard for updates.
