Home: Technology: MITH

With collaboration at the heart of its vision, Maryland Institute for Technology in the Humanities (MITH) at the University of Maryland is a community of scholars, interdisciplinary institute, and electronic space devoted to exploring ways in which new technologies can be used in university research and teaching. Funded in part by the National Endowment for Humanities Challenge Grants Program, MITH is a joint venture supported by the College of Arts and Humanities, the Libraries, and Office of Information Technology. Besides being a virtual community and intellectual hub, MITH is an actual space housed at the center of the University of Maryland campus in McKeldin Library. Engaging undergraduates as well as graduate students and faculty in research, MITH plays a pioneering role in developing advanced technological resources for revitalizing, reinventing, and expanding humanities research and education. Exploring the profound effects of the new materialities presented by digital culture, MITH serves college and pre-college faculty and students with technical resources and a broad array of programs: summer institutes for secondary, elementary, and postsecondary teachers; resident fellowships for university faculty; networked associate fellowships for faculty and graduate student projects from around the world; colloquia; polyseminars; conferences (regional and international); curriculum development; and dynamic mentoring.
