DH at IIT Jodhpur is part of a platform for interdisciplinary research at the Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur, created to meet the modern day technological challenges and towards a significant boost in impactful research in campus. DH @ IITJ is premised on project-oriented knowledge production on the practical application of methods and involves interdisciplinary collaboration workflows. Our endeavor at IIT Jodhpur is, in an active sense, to focus on and contribute to a composite of approaches (ideas and methods), rather than different approaches, that lay emphasis on preserving, reconstructing, transmitting, and interpreting human record historically and contemporaneously. In other words, we posit the field of DH at IIT Jodhpur on principles of interdisciplinary rather than multidisciplinary principles. This, in major ways, attends to epistemological questions on knowledge production about generating digital data from material objects, and rethinking of existing processes of knowledge production.
“...Technology alone is not enough — it's technology married with liberal arts, married with the humanities, that yields us the results that make our heart sing.” ~ Steve Jobs
