Teaching classes

Teaching humanities computing

We have taught classes in research methods courses in the humanities to both graduate and undergraduate students. Our staff have years of teaching experience and regularly give conference workshops and presentations.

Contact us if you think a "technology" component would be a valuable part of your course, or if your project requires training research assistants in accepted techniques and technologies.

We can set up a time to meet one of us to discuss how we can assist in teaching humanities computing topics in academic courses. Alternatively, we can arrange a non-credit workshop outside of class time.

Whenever possible, we try to coordinate our presentation and workshop materials with the curriculum offered through the Digital Humanities Summer Institute. We encourage faculty and students interested in humanities computing to attend the institute, which runs yearly in June.

Interdisciplinary minor in digital humanities

The Faculty of Humanities plans to offer an interdisciplinary minor in digital humanities. The program explores the impact of computing on the ways in which those in the humanities model, analyse, and represent their subject matter.

The program will blend the traditional strengths of the humanities with an understanding of computing tools and techniques. It will also encourage students to examine the place of computing technology in our society and the impact it has on structures of knowledge and learning.
