The Humanities and Scholarship in a Digital World

Two parts: January 19 (10 am – Noon) and February 2 (10 am – Noon)

This two-part workshop will bring together people working in the postsecondary sector (faculty, librarians, students, administrators) to discuss and reflect on knowledge making in the humanities (and in academia more broadly) within a society enmeshed with networked digital technology. 

Workshop One will provide a brief overview of the history of “digital humanities” and some key debates within the field before asking participants to reflect upon and share their own past, present, and possible future engagements–positive, negative, and ambivalent–with digital technology.

Workshop Two will ask participants to share and discuss a proposed digital project of their own: this could be a digital creation (an edition, a database, a data visualisation, a tool, a game), a course or course assignment, a plan for self-directed study, an analysis of a digital artefact or phenomenon, or something else.
