Ny doktorandkurs "Digital History: The theory and practice of historical thinking in the digital age"
NYHET
Institutionen för idé- och samhällsstudier vid Umeå universitet välkomnar forskarstuderande från de nordiska länderna till en terminslång kurs inom digital historia. Kursen ges på engelska under höstterminen 2013 och är delvis nätbaserad. Ansök senast 28 juni.
Från kursbeskrivningen: "How do digital tools and resources change the study of the past? What skills and competencies will historians need to cope with digitized archival sources and born-digital material? How can historians use the web for scholarly communication? There is little doubt that digital tools and resources potentially enable new forms of scholarship, directing our attention to new questions or providing new answers to established narratives in the field. Yet graduate training in history has only to a small degree engaged with the challenge of digital media. This Nordic PhD course aims to enable its participants to meet this challenge through a semester-long exploration of key themes, methods, tools, and discussions in the emerging field of digital history".
