Digital Humanities

3 Credits

Course will offer students an introduction to the concepts, techniques, and history of digital humanities scholarship. In addition to exploring the theoretical and methodological practices, we will look at how these practices can be used to interpret literary and cultural texts. Students will become conversant with key digital humanities methods and tools--from data-mining large textual corpora to curating archives of carefully edited texts--and will develop the critical thinking skills necessary to evaluate the success of digital scholarship.
