HIST 8275 Capstone: Designing, Executing, and Publishing Digital Humanities Projects
Digital Humanities methodology allows scholars to ask questions only addressable through the scale, visualization, or analysis afforded by digital approaches. These techniques augment traditional research approaches, expanding the academic toolkit and enhancing the impact of research outcomes. In this capstone, graduate students will learn how to execute a Digital Humanities research project by developing a project within their areas of specialization that will contribute to their research. To accomplish this, students will bring their own data related to their research interests.
