Communications Media & Digital Media Innovation (DMI) Professor J.J. Sylvia IV recently brought his Introduction to Digital Humanities course to the Amelia V. Gallucci-Cirio Library Archives as part of class project.
This course provides an overview of how digital technologies have augmented humanistic inquiry. Students will especially consider the challenges of preservation and ethical data use and structuring while they explore and build digital resources. Core outcomes of the course will be conducting archival research, digitization and metadata creation, digital textual analysis, textual markup, and web and document production and design. Each semester course projects will focus on a major concept or collection (i.e. gendered language in 1970s newspapers and magazines or mental health in the social media landscape).
