“DEH holds the potential to weave … mythologies, narratives, and heuristics; contribute tools and methods to promote “out of the box” thinking; and promote agencies to address the ethical-technical-environmental dilemmas we are facing in the 21st century.”

What is DEH?

Digital Environmental Humanities (DEH) brings together the digital and the environmental. The field of DEH allows for bringing together multiple ways of understanding human and more-than-human entanglements, creating nonlinear digital ecologies that link together multiple nodes of information and collectively help us to create a fuller, more detailed understanding of our relationship with the more-than-human worlds around us.

The digital humanities are not simply embracing quantification and big data in the humanities. DH projects showcase the importance of interpretation, experimentation, play, reflection, and critical thinking.
