The digital transformation of scholarship and education during the past 15 years has impacted most disciplines in the arts, humanities, and social sciences. With an abundance of digitized archives, open data, and digital tools, the opportunities for humanistic inquiry have grown exponentially. Yet, the conceptual foundations of Digital Humanities are still very much in debate and the challenges for developing new forms of knowledge production and
educational methodologies remain.
The presenter will examine the ways in which a cross-disciplinary, collaborative, and project based approach to Digital Humanities can help advance humanistic scholarship, evolve digital pedagogy within existing institutional structures, and open the humanities to new audiences.
Examples from ongoing research, educational, and public humanities projects will showcase how a process-oriented methodology that integrates approaches of co-design, agile development, and project-based learning can open up new opportunities for the Digital Humanities.
