Prof. Dev: Digital History: Dissent in E Europe (Budapest)

Deadline for Applications: February 14, 2019

Summer Training School in Digital History

Cultures of Dissent in Eastern Europe (1945-1989): Research Approaches in the Digital Humanities

July 15, 2019 – July 23, 2019
Central European University, Budapest

This 7-day seminar in digital humanities research methods is designed to expose a new generation of scholars in Cold War history and culture to methods of analysis and discovery involving computational techniques.
Designed and run by NEP4DISSENT (New Exploratory Phase in Research on East European Cultures of Dissent, nep4dissent.eu), COST Action 16213, the inspiration for the course is built around the transfer of knowledge from technologists and data scientists to humanists. In the course of the 7-day session, the participants will have hands-on experience with the entire life cycle of a digital humanities project design, leading to a single, tangible outcome in the form of a fully searchable and interactive dataset usable for art-curatorial purposes.

No prior knowledge of any computational methods or even data-driven approaches to research are expected from the participants. However, scholars, librarians/archivists, and art and cultural heritage curators, who can bring first-hand knowledge of the main research area, are especially invited.

For more information see the CEU Summer University page or contact Jessie Labov at labovj@ceu.edu.
