Welcome to 2018!

This spring semester, the Center for Textual Studies and Digital Humanities at Loyola University Chicago offers a full schedule of lectures, conferences, workshops, and gatherings. As a multidisciplinary research center in the College of Arts and Sciences, we bring together students, staff, faculty, alumni, and area residents to learn about the ways in which digital applications, sources, and tools are transforming how we ask - and try to answer - age-old humanistic questions while also thinking about how the humanities can help us better understand the digital age. Over the coming months, we invite you to:
