IDAH relies on faculty expertise and guidance to effectively serve the IUB digital arts & humanities community. Our governance structure reflects the variety of DAH activities on campus, beginning with the Institute's co-directors and extending to IDAH's four separate governing bodies: the policy, steering, curriculum, and advocacy committees. In addition, IDAH's small team of support staff includes a pedagogy specialist, methods specialist, and mapping specialist—meaning we're poised to help with any of your digitally-inflected questions.

OUR PARTNERS

The Institute for Digital Arts & Humanities is supported by the Office of the Vice Provost for Research with contributions from broad array of partnerships across the IUB campus. We are grateful for all of the financial and intellectual support our partners provide, both for the Institute's day-to-day activities and special events. 

OUR BACKGROUND

The Institute for Digital Arts and Humanities was initiated in 2007 by the Office of the Vice Provost for Research at Indiana University, Bloomington.

The IDAH offices and conference room, located on the first floor of the East Tower of the Wells Library, serves as a campus hub for individual consultations with faculty, as well as for IDAH presentations, special topic seminars, and IU's branch of the HASTAC Scholar's program.
