This lecture series gives the students a reasonably broad overview of the state of research and working methods in the Digital Humanities. A variety of speakers from different disciplines within the humanities - history, literature, museum studies, art history, archeology, and more - will discuss what digital methods bring to their own fields, and what they understand the Digital Humanities actually to be.
The lecture series takes place on Tuesdays from 4:45-6:15 in Hörsaal 41 and is open to all. After each lecture, there is a small reception.
