Digital Health Humanities Basics: No and Low Code Approaches to Digital Research

Digital Health Humanities Basics: No and Low Code Approaches to Digital Research Online

This session introduces attendees to the basics of digital health humanities methods by modelling computational research approaches without using computers. In this hands-on session, participants will learn about important digital methods like GIS mapping, network analysis, and text analysis by engaging with prepared archival data. Rather than a class on using digital tools like ArcGIS or Gephi, this workshop teaches how a digital humanist approaches their research objects, and how their research questions are based on humanist tradition.

 

Participants will learn:

  • The basics of a number of digital methods.
  • How research questions can emerge from primary materials.
  • How digital methods inform humanistic research questions, and how these questions critique those digital tools.
