Events

The Digital Humanities at University of Houston (DH@UH) event series, spearheaded by the Digital Humanities Core facility in partnership with the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Data Science Institute and UH Libraries, serves as a platform for advancing digital humanities research and collaboration across the university. DH@UH brings together humanists, data scientists, librarians, and students to foster innovative digital projects, particularly those that forge connections between academic research and public communities. 

Collaborative Projects

Summer Internship in Public History and Digital Humanities (2024)

This Summer Internship in Public History and Digital Humanities is an immersive ten-week program presented in partnership with the Center for Public History, which provides undergraduate students with an interdisciplinary research experience using digital tools to create public-facing humanities projects. Each intern works with faculty on an ongoing project (see list of available projects below) and participate in weekly skill-building workshops that include group seminars and guest lectures.

Digital Media Internship Pilot Program 2025 (DMIPP)

The inaugural Digital Media Internship Pilot Program (DMIPP25) gave Digital Media majors an opportunity to lead a design/development team for a public facing research site that adheres to the WC3 and ADA web standards. This 25-week internship for course credit and paid summer internship, was a joint program developed by the Digital Media program housed in the Division of Technology, and the Digital Humanities Core facility (DHC) located in the MD Anderson Library, and produced the following research sites:

Design and Development Internship Program 2026 (D&DIP)

D&DIP expands on the success of DMIPP 25 to create a combination of students from the Digital Media and Computer Information Systems program with a team-based approach to create and produce public facing prototypes for research micro sites that have an adherence to WC3 site standards, and best practices of the DHCF DH Plan and Project Development principles and are optimally functional for desktop and mobile use.

This 25-week internship program combines 15 weeks of course credit with 10 weeks of paid internship.  The D&DIP program allows us to build teams with the following capabilities.

  • Front and back-end development of collection and publishing applications
  • Optimization for both desktop and mobile site interaction
  • Adherence to:  
    • Effective UX/UI implementations
    • Institutional security compliance
    • Ongoing asset management, and migration upon completion of project
    • Finished site migration to final hosting platform destination
