In line with this year’s conference theme on “Libraries and Digital Initiatives”, our proposed session will consist of three parts (1) a short report on a Faculty Learning Community (FLC) in the digital humanities that was recently initiated at the American University of Beirut in Lebanon, (2) a presentation on lessons learned at the midpoint of our FLC and (3) a discussion about how others might launch their own FLCs, as well as what such a model might offer digital community building across AMICAL institutions.
