The Berkeley Digital Humanities Working Group (DHWG) is for more than just networking, we workshop student projects, provide hackspace opportunities, combine meetings with other working groups on campus, and run the annual DH Faire. This semester we meet every other Thursday from 11AM-12PM in the D-Lab Collaboratory 356 Barrows. We have a meeting this week on March 22nd, the DH Faire from April 2-9, and our end of the year gathering on April 26 remaining this semester.

Digital Humanities at Berkeley recently awarded more than $75,000 in grants to UCB community members in the area of Collaborative Research. This project is supported by the Andrew W. Mellon grant: Capacity Building and Integration in the Digital Humanities.

The Digital Humanities at Berkeley Fellows Lecture Series brings together the campus DH community for scholarly presentations and informal discussion of specific aspects of digital humanities practice. Each meeting a different Fellow presents their ongoing work before the conversation is opened to hands-on experimentation in addition to questions, and comments. Intended to further the critical understanding and practice of the digital humanities at Berkeley, these lectures are intended for both existing and prospective DH practitioners.
