Moore Institute: Exploring the Interconnection Between Creativity and Innovation
The Moore Institute brings together a dynamic group of researchers working on projects in the humanities and social studies, including interdisciplinary investigation of literature, history, politics, language, digital humanities, theatre, performance, Irish studies, gender, social issues, landscape, archaeology, and geography. We support postgraduates, postdoctoral fellows and academic staff throughout the College of Arts, Social Sciences, and Celtic Studies by hosting seminars, conferences, exhibitions, discussion groups and other events. We also host visiting scholars from around the world, integrating NUI Galway with leading research at a global level. We work closely with the James Hardiman Library to maximize our exceptional archival collections in theatre, Irish politics and landscape, among other areas. www.nuigalway.ie/mooreinstitute Leading the Way in Digital Humanities The Moore Institute at NUI Galway has a major commitment to Digital Humanities (DH). DH brings together expertise and methodologies from humanities scholars with new digital technologies— ranging from online digital archives of historical and cultural material, to the application of computational tools (e.g., data-mining), the creation of ‘born-digital’ creative works, and broader investigations of the impact of digital technology on society. DH thrives on collaboration between researchers in the humanities, information technology, libraries and archives, media and heritage industries, and creative arts. The Moore Institute hosts a large variety of DH projects and resources, and offers training and support for students and scholars engaged in DH research. It also hosts the Digital Arts and Humanities PhD programme through which it provides fourth-level researchers with the platform, structures, partnerships, and innovation models to engage and collaborate with a wide range of academics and practitioners. Our ambition is for students to contribute to the developing digital arts and humanities community world-wide.
