Disciplines

Finance

Finance — The study and management of money, capital, and risk. Finance asks how people, firms, and governments raise funds, allocate capital, and price assets. It focuses on economics, accounting, statistics, and increasingly computer science. Its methods are quantitative: statistical modeling, econometrics, portfolio theory, and machine learning. Its relationship to culture is direct — markets are social locations, and financial crises, credit access, and inequality are cultural events as much as mathematical ones.

Digital Humanities

Digital humanities (DH) is an area of scholarly activity at the intersection of computing or digital technologies and the disciplines of the humanities. It includes the systematic use of digital resources in the humanities, as well as the analysis of their application. DH can be defined as new ways of doing scholarship that involve collaborative, transdisciplinary, and computationally engaged research, teaching, and publishing. It brings digital tools and methods to the study of the humanities with the recognition that the printed word is no longer the main medium for knowledge production and distribution.
