Faculty Research Consultations are a part of the 2024-25 Initiative for Digital Humanities at The University of Texas at Austin.
The aim for DH FRC is to cultivate a collaborative research environment and support faculty members in integrating digital humanities into their research. Virtual consultations provide an opportunity for faculty to present their digital humanities projects, receive feedback from external and internal reviewers, and engage with other scholars in the field.
