Incubation and Application: How Digital Humanities Projects Cater to Academic Needs


Digital Humanities (DH) is a new paradigm for using digital methods and tools for humanities teaching, learning, and research. In helping humanities scholars propose, redefine, and answer humanities research questions, it is transforming the study of the humanities. In May 2016 and May 2017, Peking University (PKU) hosted two international forums: The First PKU DH Forum, with the theme “Crossing Boundaries and Engaging Communities: Digital Humanities in A Global Perspective”, and The Second PKU DH Forum, with the theme “Interaction and Coexistence: Digital Humanities and Historical Research”.


In order to further engage the use of digital technologies in the humanities, and also to strengthen DH collaboration and communication, the 3rd Peking University Digital Humanities Forum will be held in Peking University on June 13-15th, 2018.


1. The Third PKU DH Forum Focus:

Incubation and Application: How Digital Humanities Projects Cater to Academic Needs

 

Topical Area 1: Needs of the Digital Academic

If you are a teacher or researcher in humanities and require the use of digital tools in discovering, annotating, comparing, referring, sampling, illustrating, and representing scholarly information, what ideas do you have for improving these tools? What are the specific needs for digital research in your field? What problems or difficulties have you encountered in the related research? Your paper or poster can discuss relevant issues and/or suggest solutions.

 

Topical Area 2: Best Practices for DH Projects

If you have ever taken part in DH projects, or if you have studied any DH projects (no matter their size), what insights can you share about their design, procedures, management, and outcomes? How can we learn from their best practices or experiences?

 

Topical Area 3: DH Tools and Research Infrastructures

How can digital technologies improve humanities research and teaching? Please give specific examples or use case studies to explain. We also welcome submissions about any aspect of building a cyberinfrastructure for DH research, such as studies on data standards.

 

Topical Area 4: Processing Source Material with DH Approaches

How do you deal with the digitization, visualization, and/or data mining of your scholarly materials? These may include the processing of maps, ancient rubbings, ancient books, etc. that are held in libraries, museums, and archives.

 

Topical Area 5: Other Topics

Any others relevant to DH teaching and research are welcome.
