Register now for Digital Humanities Research Colloquium
You are invited to attend an interactive colloquium focused on research in the area of Digital Humanities led by Menno van Zaanen.
A wide range of benefits emerge when combining computational and humanities backgrounds. However, to reach the full benefits of such collaborations, the boundaries between both fields will need to be crossed.
During the colloquium, we will present and discuss several practical examples where computational and humanities fields are successfully combined. The focus will be on the problems, solutions, and effects of these collaborations.
Additionally, the colloquium will provide the opportunity to reflect on interdisciplinary collaboration and what it may entail within the context of the Humanities and Computational fields
