What we offer
We host an MA in Digital Humanities and have PhD students studying a range of inter-disciplinary topics and are keen to recruit more. We can provide access to an excellent range of digital resources to researchers and students, and we have a very active research community that runs a range of conferences, forums and seminar series. In addition, we offer short courses in a range of topics in Digital Humanities through the Lancaster Summer Schools series. Please see the Teaching & Training page for more information.
For over a decade the Digital Humanities Centre has been highly successful in attracting external grant funding with projects of well over £10million having been funded. This funding has come from a wide range of sources including: the European Research Council, the Arts and Humanities Research Council, the Economic and Social Research Council, the Andrew M. Mellon Foundation, the Leverhulme Trust, COST, the US National Endowment for the Humanities, the US National Science Foundation, the Heritage Lottery Fund and the Newby Trust. We are strongly involved in collaborative work with non-academic organisations in the local region – which includes the Lake District – as well as with national and international organisations. Our Research and Collaboration page provides more details.
