In September, Stanford University launched a new minor in digital humanities, intended to combine digital tools with research and exploration of history, literature, languages and other humanities topics. Students in the minor can choose one of three focuses: geospacial humanities, text technologies or quantitative textual analysis. Each track has a corresponding introductory class that is partly method-based but also incorporates the larger themes of the digital humanities. The minor requires students to complete 20 units, including one core class of five units and five other courses with a minimum of three units each. Examples of course titles include “The Digital Middle Ages,” “Poetry and the Internet” and “Technologies of Enlightenment.” More than 70 courses throughout the university satisfy requirements for the minor, including those offered by the linguistics, history, management science and Earth sciences departments.
