At King's Digital Lab, our research is organised around key Research Themes that reflect our expertise and the diverse range of projects we undertake.
These themes represent the core areas where we focus our efforts, fostering innovation and interdisciplinary collaboration in the digital humanities and beyond. They serve as focal points for our projects, methodologies, and technological advancements, contributing to the broader landscape of digital scholarship and research software engineering (RSE). They reflect our commitment to pushing the boundaries of Digital Humanities and digital research experiments while maintaining a strong ethical foundation.
Explore our Research Themes below to discover the exciting work happening at the intersection of technology and the humanities.
