What is the status of digital scholarship and digital humanities in graduate education? Does it play a role in the job market? What training do our graduate students need? What resources are necessary to facilitate digital scholarship? What are the challenges involved in teaching across departments? How can we facilitate interdisciplinary study, including co-teaching across departments, that digital scholarship requires? What are discipline-specific opportunities or challenges? And what about funding and skill sets? Come and discuss these and additional questions during a luncheon meet at the Humanities Institute.

This is an informal meeting for Directors of Graduate Study and graduate students. All interested in the topic welcome.
