How can digital technologies be harnessed to answer new and exciting questions in the humanities and arts? How can computational strategies be used to probe into works of art, historical artifacts, music, literature, and more?
This project-based course examines the theories and practices of using computational methods in the emerging field of digital humanities. Students will develop an understanding of key concepts such as data representation, digital archives, information visualization, and user interaction while working on real-world projects for scholarly, educational, and public needs. In this class, you'll create prototypes, produce design papers, and conduct user studies.
Programming and design experience is helpful but is not required. Students will work in interdisciplinary groups, bringing diverse skill sets to collaborative projects.
