The DASH minor and certificates emerged from a tradition of collaborative research in the Humanities Digital Workshop. Faculty and students work together closely, trying new techniques, proposing new approaches. As projects develop, faculty and students find themselves in need of new technical skills and analytic approaches: the DASH curriculum emerged in response to those project-driven needs.
The HDW is the hub for computationally-assisted research in the Humanities at Washington University. The HDW welcomes new faculty projects in the Humanities and interpretive and social sciences; currently it supports projects in English Literature, American Studies, Chinese History, African-American Studies, German, Hispanic Studies, Comparative Literature, and Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies.
