Are you just getting started in the field of digital humanities and do you need some expert guidance to shape your research or education? Or do you have a more specific question about research software, digital sources, programming, or statistics?

All humanities teachers, researchers and students are welcome to visit our weekly Digital Humanities walk-in hours. You do not need an appointment, feel free to join us on Thursdays from 14:00 to 15:00 hrs in the Digital Humanities Workspace or online!

 

During the DH walk-in hours various digital humanities specialists will be present to provide you with consultancy whether you are a beginner or more advanced in digital humanities. The team is comprised of a scientific developer from the Research Software Lab, support staff from the Data School, a member of Research Data Management (RDM) Support and a DH specialist of the University Library.

We can advise on, for example:

  • how to get started with digital humanities in your humanities research or education;
  • how to develop or adapt your courses to match the new ‘digital literacy’ end terms;
  • the technical component of your research (funding) proposal;
  • finding appropriate existing research software, the development of new tailor-made applications or how to optimize your self-written code;
  • creating and sharing datasets, data security or privacy issues;
  • how to analyze your data with R or Python;
  • acquiring, archiving, and accessing qualitative and quantitative data;
  • using digital humanities methods in education;
  • automatic optical character or handwriting recognition;
  • digitized full-text corpora and Linked Open Data;
  • your quantitative research design, and which methods and statistical analysis to use.
