Introduction to Digital Humanities: Concepts, Technologies, Tools

What happens when you think about computers and other digital devices as more than web browsers and word processing? Think this way about humanities disciplines, and you are in the realm of the digital humanities. In this course, we will explore the perspectives of scholars who have thought about what "digital humanities" means and the technologies and tools that are shaping new kinds of scholarship. Topics will include history of the digital humanities, textual studies, electronic literature, computational and new media, and emerging work around curation and visualization. This course is organized as a mix of seminar and workshop; active engagement by all participants is expected and thus enrollment is limited to 20 students. Students will contribute to the field with a creative final project that they develop over the course of the quarter. Enrollment limited to 20 students.
