Abstract
In this seminar Paul Millar discusses his involvement in Digital Humanities activities going back to the early 1990s, and outlines the often-unpredictable trajectory of some of the projects he has been involved with. He argues that the Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities are equipped to offer a unique and vital perspective on the digital zeitgeist, but that responding fully to the opportunities and challenges faced by connected 21st century societies requires that these disciplines develop a more-than-superficial understanding of the digital.
