Field of Focus III - Digital Humanities TheoLab - Research Network Digital Theology

Project Lead: Dr. Stefan Karcher

The Explorer Project TheoLab marks the establishment and development of a research network for digital theology at the Faculty for Theology coordinated by Dr. Stefan Karcher. 

We understand “digital theology” as research in the humanities with digital or computer-assisted methods, starting from the strong pluralism of methods used in theology, and promoting the development of methods in Digital Humanities through collaboration and cooperation with other fields in the humanities. 

To that effect, TheoLab is established in cooperation with the Forschungsstätte der Evangelischen Studiengemeinschaft (FEST) as well as the computer sciences. This allows us to reflect on and experiment with digital methods.
