Description
The digital humanities is typically viewed as an evolving research area that exists at the intersection of computation method and the traditional pursuits of the humanities, with foundations in earlier fields aligned with inter/disciplinary evolution of computer science, dating back to the 1950s and 60s with names such as humanities informatics and humanities computing. This talk will provide an overview of the digital humanities and its typical pursuits, and focus on one of its most promising points of current research and development, the area of open, social scholarship.
