Welcome to the Digital Applied Humanities Project!

We are helping People navigate the Digital Future with Humanities in Theory and Practice!

This project is the cumulation of experiences we have made since 2006 when observing fellow humans struggle with the pervasive digital realities some of us have created for all. Much like with the advent of the printing press, the shock waves go far beyond what was expected or imagined. Then as now people find out that - much as a troyan horse - digital technologies have now found their way in many parts of their on- and offline lives without them wanting, realising - and more crucially - being able to control it. That said, the agency to make informed decisions and

know the benefits and pitfalls of technology is crucial not only for the individual but also for a free and democratic society. The three areas allow users to get practical guides and information, theoretical background and concrete tools for acting on their decisions on how to navigate various aspects of their every-day-lives. In our mission we are not alone but supported by a lot of groups both from the humanities and the tech-backgrounds, that have long pointed out the consequences. So a big thank you to all the thinkers, hacker and doers! A big thank you to all our partners.
