GC Events

GC Digital Initiatives Open House (9/22) and First Workshop (9/19)

Dear colleagues,

 

Welcome back! We are writing today with information on 2 upcoming events: the Tools for the Digital Humanities Workshop (09/19/22) and the Digital Scholarship Lab Open House (9/22/22). Please forward the information to your program and read on to find out more!

 

Tools for the Digital Humanities Workshop
September 19th, 2022 (Mon) 12:00-1:30pm

Join us to see the possibilities for doing Digital Humanities work and learn about DH tools, methods, and projects!

With the remarkable array of digital tools available, it can be difficult to determine which ones you’ll really need, particularly when you’re in the research stage. Perhaps you only vaguely understand what “digital humanities” is. This workshop will give an overview of digital humanities methods and introduce a variety of tools for different kinds of research. We’ll discuss the genres and vocabulary of DH from text analysis to geospatial mapping and review the many available resources online and at The Graduate Center. Feel free to come with your project ideas and questions.
