Presentation

Please join us for the final Spring event of both the Lit+DH Working Group and the DH Fellows Lecture Series. Maura Nolan, recipient of a Digital Humanities Collaborative Research sub-award, will present a short talk on her recent DH work, followed by an open Q&A session.

Drinks and snacks will be provided.

This session will showcase research projects developed by students taking the course NES190A, Intro to Digital Humanities. We will present new methods and best practices for designing scalable research projects in the humanities from the ground up: from analog books to digital datasets.

Adam Anderson is a Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow in the Digital Humanities. His work brings together the fields of archaeology and computational linguistics to quantify the social and economic landscapes emerging during the late third to early second millennia in the ancient Near East.

Digital technologies, digitized data, and computational methods are expanding the capacity for social scientists and humanists to do quantitative data analysis, but these methods are also changing the way we to qualitative and interpretive analysis. These two talks will explore ways digital technologies and computational methods can be integrated into qualitative and interpretive projects in the social sciences and humanities.
