About

The Sussex Digital Humanities Lab (SHL Digital) is a Centre of Excellence at the AV视频 that investigates the eco-socio-cultural potentials and impacts of an increasingly digital world.

The Centre was founded as the Sussex Humanities Lab (SHL) in 2014 with significant investment from the University. SHL gained Centre of Excellence status in 2023 and added 'Digital' to its name to emphasise the shared interest in the impacts and opportunities associated with digital transformations in culture and society.
