FSU's digital humanities MA degree is a 2-year degree hosted in the Program in Interdisciplinary Humanities. The program is highly flexible and individualized to suit each student's chosen specialty within the large field of possibilities open to digital humanists. There are a series of core classes where students learn essential digital humanities skills for data analytics (DH 1: Humanities Data), knowledge curation (DH 2), and for communicating and teaching (Digital Pedagogy). Students are also part of a growing and vibrant community of digital humanities scholars across many departments and schools of the university, including the Office of Digital Research in the University Libraries and the Digital Scholars group sponsored by the History of Text Technology Program in the Department of English.
Beginning in 2019, we are launching the pilot phase of the new Demos Center for Data Humanities. Faculty and graduate students at Demos will pursue questions of how people and their environment are represented as structured data. Questions of data representation have broad applicability but are particularly effective for reading and understanding contemporary problems. The center will operate as a physical research/training space and community hub for humanities data analysis and curation; it will support faculty and students in gaining necessary skills for advanced digital humanities projects, catalyzing early-stage and cross-disciplinary projects to be competitive in seeking grants from large funders, and positioning FSU as the integrated data humanities leader in the state.
