Industry context

Humanities scholarship is being reshaped — usefully and dangerously — by generative tools. The graduates who shape the field are the ones who can wield AI without surrendering the intellectual stakes that make humanities humanities.

Student outcomes

  • Run an LLM-assisted close-reading at corpus scale and defend the readings
  • Apply a digital-humanities method to a research question of your own
  • Critique an AI-generated historical or literary claim for evidentiary weight
  • Ship a portfolio essay using AI as a tool, named explicitly in the methodology
