Digital Methods in the Humanities, UNIL, 2023
The summer school on “Digital Methods in the Humanities” is organised at UNIL on 12-15 June 2025.
It aims at introducing undergraduate and postgraduate/researchers to a range of digital methods that are currently applied in the humanities and social sciences.
Data will be viewed from different (but inextricably interconnected) perspectives, notably (a) preparation and architecture/infrastructure, (b) data treatment/analysis, and (c) societal impact and outreach. In the course of the summer school, all of these aspects will be paid attention to, both with regard to application and critical assessment.
This will be done in the form of lectures with Q&A and hands-on work in interactive workshops.
