A Description from the Digital Scholarship Team

"Digital scholarship is a cross-disciplinary field of study centered on using digital tools and methods for research. This includes topics such as collecting, analyzing and visualizing data (including texts, images, and locations, among other types of data); digital publishing for public and academic audiences; digital pedagogy, including building technical skills alongside others to experiment with new-to-us tools; and digital privacy and anti-surveillance advocacy.  While this session focuses on digital scholarship within the humanities and the interpretive social sciences ("digital humanities"), digital scholarship is a broad term that can be used fluidly to refer to other disciplines. 

"In this session, we will introduce the field of digital humanities, discuss what "research data" means, and explore examples of digital scholarship projects. Participants will also learn about the Digital CoLab, one of Cornell's hubs for digital scholarship support and community. At the end of the session, participants will be able to define "research data" and identify examples of digital scholarship methods and projects in humanities and social science fields."
