Course description

VT 2025 (online and on site in Umeå, given in English).
Course period 2025-02-20 – 2025-03-24

The course consists of three parts:

The first part provides a general introduction to how digital research has emerged as a field at the intersection of the humanities and social sciences. The complex and dynamic nature of the field, its history and key concepts are discussed with a focus on interdisciplinarity.

This part of the course also includes lectures and seminars on the specific ethical challenges of digital research.

The third and final part of the course provides examples of specific and research-oriented applications of tools and perspectives that are linked to ongoing digital research in the humanities and social sciences at Umeå University. The course is given in collaboration with DIGSUM, Digital Social Research Unit at Umeå University.
