Digital Humanities Questions & Answers

   Hi all!

   I’m looking for examples of humanities or history departments that allow students to produce digital products for MA thesis and/or PhD dissertation credit. Better yet, I’d like to find language from departmental operating papers or catalogs about accepting digital work for graduate credit.

   My history department at a regional masters comprehensive university is considering allowing students to produce digital products for the MA in lieu of the traditional history thesis. If possible, I’d like to draw on examples from other departments that are already doing this rather than inventing the procedures from scratch. Any ideas or recommendations?

   For all you grad students out there, I’d like to mention that this idea came from several students doing innovative projects. If you believe in innovative digital scholarship, keep pushing for it!

   In 2008 Bulbul Tiwari received a Ph.D. in South Asian Languages and Civilizations at the University of Chicago for her dissertation Maha Multipedia: The Mahabharata reworked in mixed media for a nine night performance. This was the first entirely digital dissertation at Chicago.

   Since I know a policy for all electronic dissertation had been decided a few years earlier I'm pretty sure Chicago would accept them for an M.A. as well. Best to check with the UC library's dissertation office.
