INTERNATIONAL JOINT SUMMER WORKSHOP ON DIGITAL HUMANITIES’2023
https://camp2023.pkudh.org/en/
Digital humanities is more than the use of digital methods in humanities studies; it marks the shifting of the humanities research paradigms in the age of artificial intelligence. To foster interdisciplinary talents who can apply computational thinking in the humanities and arts, the Center for Digital Humanities at Peking University, the Digital China Initiative of the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies at Harvard University, and the Department of East Asian Studies at Princeton University have jointly established the "Digital Humanities Summer Workshop" program. The course will rotate every summer among the three campuses of Peking University, Harvard University, and Princeton University, and with each university selecting a theme of interest and organizing teaching teams and content accordingly.
The first joint summer workshop will be held at Peking University in early August 2023, with the theme of "Humanistic Innovation in the AI Age." The course aims to teach how to apply big data and AI methods to the materials of humanities research, but also exploit the value of complex historical and cultural corpora in developing Artificial General Intelligence. The course will mainly use Chinese historical sources as experimental materials. Both humanists and AI experts will be invited to co-teach: humanities scholars introduce historical materials and research topics for exploration, while technical experts instruct on the use of digital humanities methods and intelligent tools.
The course is open to graduate and senior undergraduate students of both H&A and STEM backgrounds, and young teachers who are interested are also welcome to participate. Students will be grouped into interdisciplinary project teams based on their research topics of interest, and conduct research in a project-driven manner. This course focuses on the fostering of independent research abilities and cross-disciplinary collaboration instead of basic skill training.
