Intro
Introduction to the logistics and pedagogical underpinnings of DHRI. We will discuss expectations and structure.
Digital Humanities
We will establish a working definition of what is (or what is not) DH. This concept is to be established collaboratively and will evolve during your experience.
Data in the Humanities
What is data, and what kinds of data can be useful in your research? Attendees will participate in conversations about best practices for data management, file naming rules, sustainable data formats, and structuring data.
Tools
This session will introduce DH tools. We will also discuss how to choose the best tool for your projects.
Coding
What do we hope to accomplish in the sessions on coding? This session will discuss how to communicate directly with your computer’s operating system using a text-based interface and is a useful first step in learning many other technical skills.
Python
Python is a programming language that can be used for a wide range of tasks, including collecting and analyzing data in a variety of formats.
Use and Re-use of Data
A discussion of issues around creating and accessing datasets; including copyright, licensing, and ethics.
Project Planning
This session will introduce the process for designing your digital research project.
One Day Project
This session will allow time to apply what we have learned throughout DHRI to your research interests.
