In Fall 2015, DH Fellows Rochelle Terman, PhD Candidate in Political Science, and Laura Stoker, Associate Professor in Political Science, introduced a new interdisciplinary course, “Political Science 239T: Introduction to Computational Tools and Techniques for Social Research,” with support from a Digital Humanities at Berkeley new course component grant.
Across departments, instructors are experimenting with different ways to incorporate digital humanities methods and critical perspectives into undergraduate and graduate courses. Students are engaging with the digital by exploring computational methods, building models and reconstructions, and developing theoretical critiques and artistic creations. Below, we highlight a few current and upcoming courses taught by DH Fellows and other campus partners.
The first set of courses featuring new components funded by DH at Berkeley made their debut this fall.
