The Digital Liberal Arts (DLA) exploration at Colorado College and this website were founded through a grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to expand faculty-student collaboration in the Humanities and Humanistic Social Sciences. Over the past seven years, several working teams of faculty, staff, and student researchers have undertaken projects in the digital liberal arts. In addition, several Colorado College faculty and staff have developed pedagogical initiatives that have expanded the use of digital tools in the classroom, including courses based in the digital liberal arts.
Currently, DLA at CC is supported by an ever-growing collaborative of faculty, staff, and students who work to incorporate digital tools into research, teaching, and learning. Central to this collaborative is the Digital Liberal Arts Working Group, which consists of faculty, staff, and students, and meets once a block to discuss ongoing digital projects and to further the DLA initiative at Colorado College.
If you are interested in joining the Digital Liberal Arts Working Group or want to learn more about DLA at Colorado College, please contact Jennifer Golightly (jgolightly@coloradocollege.edu).
