The mission of the Borderlands Digital Humanities Center (BDHC) is to be:
The Center advances intellectual inquiry across disciplines, anchored in the humanities and dedicated to engagement with communities throughout the U.S. – Mexico Borderlands. The Center pursues and supports bi-national, multi-cultural projects on digital platforms that honor the peoples, environments, and experiences of the Borderlands and beyond and reaffirm the role of human interpretation in the age of big data. The Center also trains students and faculty in DH methods and skills, sponsors talks and discussions, and collaborates with community partners on issues of digital literacy and culture.
Digital humanities scholarship, in broad strokes, (1) uses computational tools to answer humanities questions of humanities text, (2) asks new questions of humanities texts made possible or evident by computational tools or affordances, or (3) brings humanistic critique to computational, digital, and technological texts. Such work takes many forms and are methodologically diverse, but at the Borderlands Digital Humanities Center, we strive to imagine a digital present and future that centers care, equity, ethics, and social justice.
For all reservations, guided visits, or requests to visit outside regular hours, email us at bdhc@utep.edu, and we’ll do our best to accommodate your needs.
