Mikko Tolonen & Eetu Mäkelä, Introduction to Digital Humanities

Time and place: 26.10-11.12, Tuesday and Friday, 14-16.

She can differentiate between relevant methods within the field and ask questions about their relevance for the humanities. The student knows digital resources and has used different kinds of digital materials. She has an idea about data management and basic questions relating to it. She also understands the basics of ethical questions regarding digital humanities.

Research questions in the humanities and the digital resources 3. Words, concepts and conceptual change 4.

Digital Humanities Research Seminar Open to all who feel that they want to be part of DH Research community at the Faculty of Arts at the University of Helsinki (this does not by any means imply that it is only for people at the Faculty of Arts!). Meant as a lively forum for Digital Humanities, a hub or a forum where one can meet other people interested in this subject matter. How to get involved? First thing is to write an email to [email protected] to be included in the mailing list of the seminar. Second thing is to come to the seminar. The Fall 2015 programme has been fixed already, but the Spring 2016 programme will be formed based on the interest of the seminar group. It is possible and desirable that also other activities besides “classic seminar papers” (which nevertheless is the foundation of this forum) will take place in the future. The updated seminar programme will also be posted in the future to: http://blogs.helsinki.fi/mstolone/
