Digital Humanities at The Open University

Description

The Digital Humanities research group (DH_OU) investigates new avenues of research to promote a critical perspective on the use of digital technologies as research tools and to explore questions of power and accessibility in wider use of such resources.

With over 20 projects receiving extensive funding from a wide range of government agencies and private sources, including the AHRC, the ESRC, JISC, the British Academy, the Museums, Library and Archives Council, and Google, a key emphasis is on the use of technology to ensure that the research outputs are made available and accessible to interested members of the general public, as well as disseminated to students and academic peers.
