School of Digital Humanities and Liberal Arts (DiHLA)

Digital Humanities is a multidisciplinary field which explores the various dimensions of interplay of digital technologies, societies and communities. It encompasses research in various areas where digital technologies influence, contribute and advance the cause of humanities and explores the intersection of digital technologies and humanities. The field attempts to produce applications and models that make possible new kinds of research, both in the humanitarian disciplines as well as in computer science and its allied technologies. It also studies the impact of these technologies on cultural heritage, libraries, archives, digital culture, lifestyles,technology empowered communities, and deployment of mathematical and predictive models on the future of a digitally empowered society.

The School of Digital Humanities and Liberal Arts (DiHLA) at KUDSIT will focus on research related to digital culture and society and will explore the use of advanced technology-related methods in humanities research. In current times, cultural artefacts are increasingly available in digitised or born-digital form and computing power, which has grown exponentially over the last several decades, is more accessible than ever. T he activities at the Centre would focus on the exploration and use of digital tools, analytical techniques and technology to explore humanistic questions and solving business related issues. The DiHLA will have its own academic and research programs in areas such as in Digital Law, Digital Pedagogy, Computational Social Science, e-Governance, management science, entrepreneurship, innovation, etc. The school will also collaborate with other schools of KUDSIT for supporting interdisciplinary programs of KUDSIT that have a humanities/social science component.
