CLS 193 - History Done Digitally

Course Units: 1

What do you think of when you hear “Humanities”? If you ask someone in the humanities what they study, you may hear a hundred different answers: great authors, established historians, artistic masterpieces. You seldom hear “Data.” But that is exactly what all of these works are. In the modern world, countless tools have been developed to facilitate the access, analysis, and dissemination of data. In this course, we will learn how to use various technologies to both ask and answer questions traditional to the humanities and come up with new ones, with a focus on the ancient and medieval world.
