Rethinking the humanities in the light of changing technologies, our increasingly connected planet, the ongoing ecological crisis, and the need to create more inclusive institutions.
The Experimental Humanities Collaborative Network promotes projects that encourage the following:
- Critical reflection on the intersection of science, technology, media, art, and the humanities in response to the question: how does technology mediate what it means to be human?
- Hands-on and experiential learning: learning by doing, building, collaborating (between students, faculty, and/or staff), and experimenting
- Critical, scholarly, and/or artistic work that crosses traditional disciplinary boundaries, especially between disciplines concerned with sciences & technology and disciplines concerned with the arts & humanities
- Critical, scholarly, and/or artistic work that strives to make an impact on communities beyond the academy and that strives to promote a more equitable and just world
- The creation of archives, pedagogical resources, research projects, and artworks that can be used and studied by partners across the EHCN
