Digital Humanities is an expanding multidisciplinary field at the intersection of digital technologies and the humanities. These workshops have been organised to help you think about the potential digital technologies may have on your research.
Their aim is to provide you with the tools you may require to see digital possibilities in your project and to encourage you to think how digital technologies may provide you with new ways of working and thinking about your research.
These will be hands-on seminars in which you will learn how to navigate and work creatively in a digital environment. This will be an opportunity to meet and discuss your research with your peers. They are all taught in computer labs.
The workshops assume no prior experience.
These workshops are free and open to all PhD students in the School of Art but registration is required.
As 21st-century scholars, we have access to a wealth of websites and digital tools for creating and managing our research. But where should we begin? And what's the most effective strategy for making the most of these opportunities? With hands-on exercises and group discussion, this practical workshop guides you through some of the best solutions available. We'll cover:
- Promoting your research through online repositories
- Digital tools for managing your research material
- Building an academic web presence with social media
The session is facilitated by Dr Catherine Pope, an academic and research skills trainer, who spends most of her time wrangling with technology.
