Digital Publishing

Stanford scholars are harnessing the power of new technologies through an array of digital humanities endeavors. Current digital humanities projects are using tools like 3-D mapping, electronic literary analysis, digitization, and advanced visualization techniques in interdisciplinary research that aim to shed new light on humanities research.

With online publishing and virtual archives, creators and users experiment and interact with source materials in ways that yield new findings, while also facilitating community building and information sharing.

Stanford professors and students organize an array of workshop style forums to foster discussion of digital humanities scholarship. Guest presenters from around the globe regularly contribute to conversations about the techniques, challenges, and outcomes of digital humanities research.

Arcade

In the academic sense, a salon is a gathering of intellectuals who engage in thought provoking discussions. Taking a cue from the social media trend, a group of humanities scholars have created a new and improved virtual incarnation of the salon.
The new interactive website, entitled "Arcade," is the first widely accessible platform for intellectual networking in the humanities. Arcade is a place for readers and writers interested in literature, the humanities, and the world. We aim to publish a broad range of the most exciting research in the humanities, from the accessible to the esoteric, across languages, historical periods, and generations.
