Doctor of Philosophy in Digital Arts & Humanities

University of British Columbia - Okanagan Campus

Use digital technologies to explore questions central to the arts and humanities applying arts and humanities frameworks to digital tools and technologies. Digital humanities work involves researching, teaching and learning about the humanities in a digital context-whether that’s building and using software, websites and datasets to display information, or digitizing, preserving and using other technology-focused methods like augmented and virtual reality.Digital Arts is a highly integrated practice combining strong theoretical frameworks with specific acts of making in graphic design, digital photography, digital video and audio editing, web design, 2D and 3D animation, digital writing, and mobile application development. The PhD degree is centered on participating faculty and students convening on a regular basis to share ideas, learn about each other’s work, identify opportunities for collaboration, and broaden their interdisciplinary expertise. Faculty scholars all have experience with digital arts and humanities research, and are committed to the interdisciplinary nature of the program.
