DESCRIPTION:Dr Kurt E. Fendt\, Principal Research Associate\, School of Hu
 manities\, Arts and Social Sciences\, MIT\nThe digital transformation of s
 cholarship and education during the past 15 years has impacted most discip
 lines in the arts\, humanities\, and social sciences. With an abundance of
  digitized archives\, open data\, and digital tools\, the opportunities fo
 r humanistic inquiry have grown exponentially. Yet\, the conceptual founda
 tions of Digital Humanities are still very much in debate and the challeng
 es for developing new forms of knowledge production and\neducational metho
 dologies remain.\n\nThe presenter will examine the ways in which a cross-d
 isciplinary\, collaborative\, and project based approach to Digital Humani
 ties can help advance humanistic scholarship\, evolve digital pedagogy wit
 hin existing institutional structures\, and open the humanities to new aud
 iences.\n\nExamples from ongoing research\, educational\, and public human
 ities projects will showcase how a process-oriented methodology that integ
 rates approaches of co-design\, agile development\, and project-based lear
 ning can open up new opportunities for the Digital Humanities.
