He manages the University’s data repository, the Research Data Archive, which can be used to preserve and provide long-term access to research data.

Dawn Kanter, Digital Humanities Officer

Dawn’s role is to coordinate the Hub’s activities in order to support Digital Humanities projects within the University i.e. projects that use digital methods to address humanities research questions, or those using critical traditions in the humanities to examine digital technologies. In conjunction with other members of the team, Dawn can help researchers to develop ideas for such projects and to find ways of effectively delivering them. Her own background is in museums and cultural heritage as well as in Digital Humanities. She is the initial contact for general enquiries to the Hub.
