Experimental Humanities Collaborative Network

Rethinking how we engage with the humanities and redefining what they are in the light of changing technologies, an increasingly connected global landscape, the ongoing ecological crisis, and calls to create more inclusive universities.

What EHCN Does

Innovative Pedagogy

This collaboration will inspire and support the growth or development of centers at each locale dedicated to innovative pedagogy that emphasizes skills-based learning with a range of technologies, critical reflection, and social justice; digital and face-to-face public projects that promote civic engagement; and truly integrated interdisciplinary research that draws on history, theory, and experimental practice to imagine more just technological realities and human-centered modes of being.
More Just Technological Realities

EHCN supports the development of innovative pedagogy, interdisciplinary research, and public engagement via digital, analog, and conceptual methods to build more just technological realities. At each partner institution, this collaboration fosters critical reflection, social justice, and practice-rich learning; digital and face-to-face public projects; and truly integrated interdisciplinary research that draws on history, theory, and experimental practice.
Grassroots Leadership

EHCN insists on the power of grassroots leadership, and invites an array of collaborators to the table. Its courageous—and often playful—experimentation with both “old” and “new” technologies flattens hierarchies not just between academic disciplines but between the academy and local communities. Not only working with each partner institution to emphasize its unique local technological, environmental, and cultural ecology, EHCN also creates opportunities for partners to share the lessons of their distinctive experiences with a larger global community.
