Digital humanities: Expanding research paradigms

This unit examines the application of digital technologies (beyond textual analysis) in humanities research, covering the methods used to make data accessible, the analytic techniques which are thereby enabled, and the dissemination of research results through new modes of publication. The unit will be based on active learning and will enhance and consolidate your academic and research abilities. It will also guide you to an understanding of the potential of applying new analytic tools to problems in various humanities disciplines and will stimulate team-work and collaboration, creating a pool of transferable skills that you can acquire and practice, and encouraging you to make productive links between theoretical ideas and practical applications.
