PGH|DH Social Gathering
CMU is hosting its first Pittsburgh Digital Humanities social event in two weeks, on February 2nd, 4:30-6pm in the Hunt Library, Studio B. Meet like-minded researchers, and catch up on what’s going on in our very DH-y city. Inspired by Alison Langmead’s DHRX events, we will have light refreshments (though no alcohol this time — sorry!).
