DH Studio

​

As lab courses for the humanities and social sciences, these weekly 1-credit courses give students the opportunity to discuss the context of a topic, examine the important research questions guiding DH methodology, review exemplary scholarly projects, and gain significant hands-on experience exploring relevant technologies. Each DH Studio course will be a co-requisite to one or more 3-credits courses in the humanities or social sciences.

"Digital Humanities is less a unified field than an array of convergent practices that explore a universe in which print is no longer the primary medium in which knowledge is produced and disseminated."

Anne Burdick, Johanna Drucker, Peter Lunenfeld, Todd Presner, Jeffrey Schnapp

(MIT Press, 2012)

DH practices

• Scholarly text encoding
• Text analysis & topic modeling
• Geospatial humanities
• Social network analysis
• Temporal patterns
• Multimedia narratives

The problem DH Studio addresses:

• 1 class session is not enough
• Devote half of a 3-credit course to DH?
• Why not add a lab as a 4th credit?

challenges

• Logistics/scheduling
• Classroom space (project-based learning)
• Scalability: one studio can support two courses
• Course preparation
