Columbia's *Record* has recently asked me to define digital humanities for an upcoming issue about the state of the field on campus. My best attempt at it was to write:
Digital humanities are a diverse set of overlapping academic practices which usually include some mixture of 1) computational and otherwise experimental approaches to the study of the human condition; 2) modalities of cultural preservation, content curation, and knowledge design; and finally, 3) social advocacy and professional reform in response to developments in information technology.
