Debates in the Digital Humanities
About the Series
Debates in the Digital Humanities 2016 marks the start of a new book series from the University of Minnesota Press. Building on the first edition of Debates in the Digital Humanities, the series will explore the most compelling debates in the field as they emerge. As digital humanities scholars and practitioners, along with their critics, continue to articulate the field, Debates in the Digital Humanities will track the issues and tensions at stake in their discussions of methods, practices, theories, controversies, projects, and politics.

Pairing full-length scholarly essays with shorter pieces drawn from scholarly blogs and conference presentations, as well as commissioned interviews and position statements, Debates in the Digital Humanities 2016 reveals a dynamic view of a field in negotiation with its identity, methods, and reach.
Debates in the Digital Humanities brings together leading figures in the field to explore its theories, methods, and practices and to clarify its multiple possibilities and tensions. Together, the essays suggest that the digital humanities is uniquely positioned to contribute to the revival of the humanities and academic life.
About the Platform
The Debates in the Digital Humanities platform was launched in 2013 in conjunction with the open-access edition of the first Debates in the Digital Humanities volume. Since then, the platform has expanded to include features that allow readers to interact with the material by marking passages, and adding terms to a crowdsourced index; the platform also includes atom feeds and APIs.
In 2016, the platform was redesigned to include the content associated with Debates in the Digital Humanities 2016. For the latest updates, see the news page.
