Critical Digital Humanities

3 credits · Undergraduate

This course will concentrate on training a critical eye on the field, and analyzing what impact the digital has on the study of the humanities and on the culture at large. Even as computational and digital capacities allow us to ask new questions, they also powerfully shape how we organize and receive knowledge. Courses in the Critical Digital Humanities will provide a necessary space to critically evaluate how the modes and content of information-age technologies influence and impact the modes and content of humanistic inquiry.
