Digital Humanities

Overview
This course in Digital Humanities brings digital theory and practice to the study of human culture: from history, English and music to museums, digital publishing and beyond.
Digital technology provides many new opportunities and challenges to those working with textual, visual or multimedia content and this course studies how human knowledge and culutre are being transformed by interactions with or through digital culture. We explore the role of the emerging field of the Digital Humanities in modelling, curating, analysing and interpreting digital representations of human culture in all its forms.
