51-2224 Introduction to Digital Humanities

This course will explore the emergence of the digital humanities as both a disciplinary field of study and a reaction to changes in our culture more broadly. Students will be introduced to the theories, methods, and practices of reading, analysis, writing, and exhibition that comprise the digital humanities. Using tools for distant reading, geotemporal visualization, and data mining, they will develop new ways to conceptualize and communicate the rich landscape of our human cultural existence.
