Digital Projects and the National Endowment for the Humanities

Jennifer Serventi from the Office of Digital Humanities at the National Endowment for the Humanities will be available to discuss various strategies for supporting the work of historians using digital approaches for scholarship, teaching, and reaching interested public audiences. She will highlight recent awards and outline current grant programs that will be of particular interest to historians curious about emerging digital methods and tools. In addition to emphasizing grant programs that support teaching, research, and public programs in the digital humanities, she will be able to update roundtable participants with information on new developments and initiatives of the NEH. She would also appreciate hearing from the audience about what funders can do to assist historians as they seek to explore new questions for their scholarship and to better connect with their students and the public.
