Launch of new education program of Spring 2024
The Centre for Digital Humanities (CDH) is pleased to present the staff education program for Spring 2024. Take your first steps into the world of digital humanities methods or refine your existing skills. Registration is open!
Our program includes a variety of brand new workshops, featuring an introduction to web scraping, formatting professional documents in LaTeX, and searching through extensive online newspaper archives. Additionally, we are introducing a new workshop on the fundamental steps of collecting, constructing, and exploring datasets. The classics are also on the agenda, such as the popular programming language Python, and qualitative data analysis using NVivo software.
Don’t miss Lorena De Vita’s lecture who recently gained access to the personal diaries of a German jurist seeking reparations for Holocaust survivors. Through an NWO grant, De Vita initiated a project to utilize Handwritten Character Recognition (HCR) technology to decrypt the diaries.
Due to the previous success, CDH strategic advisor Antal van den Bosch will once again host one-on-one brainstorming and consultancy sessions on how to successfully integrate computational methods in your research design.
Most workshops are tailored for staff and students of the Faculty of Humanities. All sessions are free, mostly at entry level and require a relatively modest time investment. The lectures are open to all.
Take a look at the new course offerings.
