About the Electronic Textual Cultures Lab @ UVic: The ETCL (http://etcl.uvic.ca/) engages in cross-disciplinary study of the past, present, and future of textual communication, and acts as a hub for digital humanities activities across the University of Victoria campus, from coast-to-coast, and around the world. ETCL acts as an intellectual centre for the activities of some twenty local faculty, staff, and students as well as visiting scholars who work closely with research centers, libraries, academic departments, and projects locally and in the larger academic community. Through a series of highly collaborative relationships, ETCL’s international community comprises over 150 researchers.
ETCL research integrates humanities practices and computational methods with the goal of contributing to the global conversation about textual communication and developing proofs-of-concept and prototypes applicable to the academic community, industry, and the general public. Our teaching and training initiatives like the Digital Humanities Summer Institute (DHSI; http://dhsi.org) bring together faculty, staff, and students from the Arts, Humanities, Library, and archives communities as well as independent scholars and participants from industry and government sectors; in its tenth year, the DHSI had welcomed more than 1000 people from around the world to its warm, collegial training environment. Our conferences and speaker series have brought more than 200 faculty and graduate student speakers to our campus.
Researchers, post-doctoral fellows, and graduate student assistants affiliated with the ETCL have gone on to exciting positions in industry and academia, including: tenure track faculty member, post-doctoral fellow, doctoral student, software developer, solution architect, director of technology, academic librarian, project manager, professional writer, multimedia consultant, web designer, and research director.
