HUM 299D Digital Humanities
Digital Humanities (DH) is an interdisciplinary area of study that trains students to engage in research that integrates the use of technology with traditional Humanistic areas of inquiry. It is the most rapidly growing field within the larger Humanities because its methods encourage collaboration, technical skill, public accountability, and project-based learning. These qualities combined with the values of Humanistic study develop individuals ready to transfer knowledge gained in the classroom into a larger public sphere as teachers, writers, researchers and more. The immediate goals of this DH course are to introduce students to DH theories and methods (e.g. text analysis tools, creating and editing online editions, language data-bases etc.) that can serve as a foundation for their studies at the Mount.
