The upcoming Digital Humanities Summer Institute: Technologies East is described in Lesley Barry’s article in the All Daily News entitled “Digital Humanities Institute Offers Hands-on Learning“. Below is a short excerpt about this exciting initiative. Our own Professor Shawn Graham of the History Department is one of the workshop instructors.
How can an online game enhance our understanding of the French Revolution? How have ebooks changed the nature of reading? Embark on these questions and you’re in the realm of the Digital Humanities – and if you want answers, or at least ways to discover the answers, consider signing up for DHSITE2017.
Digital Humanities Summer Institute: Technologies East is co-hosted by the University of Ottawa on (May 17 and 18) and Carleton University (May 19 and 20), with key support from Carleton’s Global Academy. Featuring practical and theoretical workshops, panels, plenary speakers and presentations, it’s building a buzz beyond the two campuses.
In line with Carleton’s role as a hub that welcomes the Ottawa community, everyone’s invited.
“DHSITE is open to everybody. No knowledge of computer programming is required; if you can surf the Internet and send an email, you’re qualified to join any workshop that interests you. And if you’ve heard of DH and have been wondering how it affects your area of knowledge or expertise, DHSITE is a fantastic place to get your feet wet.”
