I am an assistant prof at a small liberal arts college that has wonderful faculty but does not yet have a DH program. Although I don't have a background in DH, I think it's value to faculty and students means that we ought to bring one to campus. I'm also very interested in DH myself, although my first priority is to create a project that students and faculty alike can join briefly or for longer periods at a time. My area is American studies and my current research looks at slavery, biopolitics, and discourses of rights in the C18-C19.
