What is Digital Humanities?

Nailing down a definition of digital humanities is difficult, thus we taken an expansive, inclusive approach to digital humanities. By this we mean it to be an arena of interdisciplinary humanities research, teaching, and publishing that can be represented in digital form(s), enabled by digital methods and tools, about digital technology and culture, experimenting with and developing digital technologies, and critical of itself.
