Digital Humanities Work
• Not every Digital Humanist does the same thing!
• Not every Digital Humanist does EVERYTHING.
• DH work is collaborative, but in different ways.
• You may already be doing DH work!

My DH Work
• DH work should be in the service of research questions.
• Don’t ask “What tools / programs should I learn?” first.
• A DH project does not have to have a “digital” product.
• Discuss the tangible value of DH dissertation work (degree requirements) with your department.
