UCLDH Community

There is much more going on at UCLDH than study and research. This page outlines a few of our other activities.

Alumni page

This UCLDH alumni blog has been set up independently from the UCL infrastructure to allow students past, present and future to interact and share their experiences, particularly in the area of the job market and further study.

YouTube Channel

The UCLDH YouTube channel pulls together our published videos all in one place. If YouTube is blocked where you are, you can find some of these on our UCLDH YouKu channel too (apologies for the adverts!).

Praxis Network

UCLDH was very pleased to be invited to be one of the founding participating programmes of the Praxis Network. This group was set up to focus on graduate education initiatives with an emphasis on new models of methodological training and collaborative research.

Decoding Digital Humanities London

DDHL was originally set up by staff and students at UCLDH as a series of informal monthly meetings to get together and discuss matters of interest to our discipline. It has now expanded to be a London wide event and is currently organised by postgraduate students from UCL and King's College London.

DH Friends

UCLDH welcomes DH friends passing through London and invites them to come and meet our students and perhaps give a talk about their research or other related activities. 

Twitter

Many UCLDH projects and staff have a Twitter presence (see individual staff and project pages). Follow @UCLDH  and #UCLDH.

Facebook Groups

See (and 'like') the UCLDH Facebook page.

In addition, there are UCLDH MA/MSc Facebook groups for each year. These are closed groups and specific to each year; apply to the appropriate group admin to join.

UCLDH images online

Many images are available on the UCLDH Repository, Family album.

A simple UCLDH search on Flickr brings up many more.

In addition, use UCLDH as a keyword for searching Google images.

UCLDH merchandising

A range of t-shirts, mugs, and other items imprinted with the UCLDH logo can be purchased online at the UCLDH Shop.

UCLDH to participate in £14.5m Towards a National Collection

The Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) has awarded £14.5m to 5 research projects to connect the UK’s cultural artefacts and historical archives in new and transformative ways. The announcement today of the five major projects forming the largest investment of Towards a National Collection, a five-year research programme, reveals the first insights into how thousands of disparate collections could be explored by public audiences and academic researchers in the future.

Long View Seminar – Reflecting on our First Year

In a year dominated by a global pandemic and both remote working and teaching, we lost many of the traditional ways that we as scholars could stay connected. One of those, the traditional extra-curricular seminar series that was a coming together space for people at different stages of their career, had to go online. And that’s just where we went.

UCLDH research activity June 2021

The UCLDH team have been busy as ever, despite continuing COVID-19 restrictions. Here’s just a few examples of recent activity:

Blowing the doors off debt: mapping global interactions of a community project

The film Bank Job by Daniel Edelstyn and Hilary Powell is an exploration of the world of credit and of capital creation, and the buying and selling of debt. The film follows a community project in which artists Edelstyn and Powell create their own currency, set up as a bank, and sell bank notes in order to fund the purchase at discount of over a million pounds of debt. The culmination of the film is the cancellation of that debt, both financially (the debt written off) and symbolically, in an exploding van.
