Faculty

The DHRX is a cross-campus, cross-disciplinary network of affiliated faculty members who are interested in digital teaching and research methods. Affiliated faculty build innovative learning tools, investigate transformations in scholarly communication, produce new approaches to the analysis, display, and interpretation of texts, incubate research collaborations, and develop digital projects at the intersection of knowledge, media, design, theory, and practice.
