Fri, 01/25/2019 - 16:30 to 18:00

This talk will examine the course "East Asian Digital Humanities" taught by Dr. Des Jardin at Penn, covering the format and content of the course, the students and their expertise, and its broader implications for digital humanities pedagogy and community building. By introducing several specific aspects of digital humanities methods that are complicated by the vagaries of data based in East Asian sources, Dr. Des Jardin will demonstrate how she approached teaching about the seminar's various topics through examining real-world research cases in addition to theory and method.
