About HumaniTech®
Housed in UC Irvine’s School of Humanities, HumaniTech builds bridges among disciplines, skills, and constituencies across campus. We focus on collaboration where information technology is essential to bridge building efforts.
History of HumaniTech®

Original focus: to get Humanities scholars on-board with technology

Orange County Register Article
HumaniTech team activities are working toward creative solutions that actively involve both faculty and staff in meaningful collaborations focused on technological progress for teaching and learning.
We see that not only do technology and the humanities mix, but, in the present digital culture, one may not be able to survive without the other.
