Applications Open: East Asian Studies & Digital Humanities, Faculty/Instructor Edition (Deadline 11/30)
Paula R. Curtis
Dear colleagues,
Paul Vierthaler (Assistant Professor of Chinese Studies, William & Mary) and I are excited to announce that registration is open for a new virtual short course East Asian Studies and Digital Humanities: Dream Lab Plus Edition (Saturdays, 1/14-2/25), sponsored by the University of Pennsylvania Price Lab for Digital Humanities.. Held over 8 sessions (2 hours each) over Zoom, this all-virtual short course is intended for faculty, librarians, information specialists, and other instructors in East Asian Studies who wish to incorporate digital methodologies into their research, teaching, or curricular development. (Note: our summer short course for graduate students, postdocs, & contingent faculty will also take place in June–learn more here.)
This class serves as an introduction to digital humanities for EAS specialists and is geared toward those with little to no DH training. We will prioritize applications according to experience level, the (un)availability of digital humanities specialists at their institutions, and project/teaching-oriented needs.
The course will include a broad overview of the state of the field, presentations of methods and hands-on sessions with tools and projects, and active discussion about pedagogy, self-directed learning, and future directions for DH research and projects in East Asian studies. Topics will range from corpus preparation and text analysis to OCR, IIIF, network analysis, and digital resources relevant to materials in Chinese, Korean, and Japanese.
Fees:
Standard rate: $400 USD
Partner institution rate: $300 (UCLA, UPenn)
Need-based rate: $200*
* Scholars without institutional support may indicate their need in their application. Grants at 50% or more of the standard rate may be available for a limited number of applicants and are sponsored by the Tadashi Yanai Initiative for Globalizing Japanese Humanities, University of California, Los Angeles.
The deadline to apply is November 30, 8pm EST.
