ENG 374 - Advanced Topics: Intro to Digital Humanities (1)

With new technologies, and with big data sets, the kinds of questions that we can explore in the Humanities have expanded. New media also allows us to share results in new ways. The Digital Humanities is an emerging, interdisciplinary field, creatively combining knowledge and skills from humanities disciplines with information and computer sciences in the spirit of inquiry. Students in this course will be introduced to debates surrounding this new area of study, and will design and implement intro-level Digital Humanities projects of their own. Recommended for computer science and humanities students, but all majors are welcome. Prerequisite: Writing-designated course (W)
