Centre Lauded for Blending IT and the Humanities

The Centre for Digital Citizenship was recently profiled in one of Denmark’s leading academic trade publications, Forskerforum, for its contemporary, interdisciplinary approach to humanities research.

Julie Sommerlund, Dean of the Faculty of Humanities at Roskilde University, praised the Centre’s members for attracting a number of significant grants from private funders in recent years. Key questions around the societal impacts of digitalization and datafication require interdisciplinary efforts, Sommerlund noted, and the Centre is an example of the leading role Communication and Humanities scholars can play in such collective endeavours.
